About this document

Lead Poisoning Risk Assessment Guide by api-456370120 is a document available to read on EtoBox.

Lead exposure poses risks, especially to children under 6. Sources of lead exposure include lead-based paint, contaminated dust or soil, and water. The EPA defines levels of 40 μg/ft2 in floors and 250 μg/ft2 in windowsills for lead dust and 400 ppm in play areas and 1,200 ppm average in other soil as hazardous. Risk of lead poisoning can be reduced by lowering allowable lead levels in products and environments where children live and play.
