Lead poisoning in children

Heda Dapul et al. Adv Pediatr. 2014 Aug.

Abstract

There is no safe lead level in children. Primary prevention is the most effective way to bring about the complete removal of lead from the environment and eliminate lead poisoning as a public health concern. The National Lead Information Center can be reached via the Internet at www.epa.gov/lead and www.hud.gov/lead, or via phone at 1-800-424-LEAD (5323).

Keywords: Blood lead level; Chelation; Neuro-developmental; Primary prevention.
