Owing to its wide use in the paint manufacturing industry prior to the 1980s, lead is highly prevalent in our atmosphere. Being decidedly toxic, it presents a grave health risk, specifically to people inhabiting older buildings or working in particular work environments where they’ve been exposed to it for certain periods of time.
It should be noted that lead can cause serious health risks even if the person involved has not had long-term exposure. If left intact, lead paint doesn’t pose much of a health threat. However, lead paint deteriorates rather easily over time through sun and water damages and sometimes even just due to age and/or maintenance work (demolishing walls that were coated in it once upon a time).
Lead Can Be Found In Air, Water And Soil
The real danger lies within lead paint flakes and/or dust, which can be inhaled or ingested several ways and can have serious health effects upon your body, including nerve/brain damage, behavioural problems, mental retardation and learning disabilities, digestive problems, abdominal pains, sleep issues, anemia, joint pains, cancer, kidney failure and even coma or death if the exposure sustained in great enough.
Lead paint flakes can be found in the air, water and even soil. They can also be found on objects and surfaces in your plumbing (lead pipes), and even in your food and drink if let out in an area of exposure.
Lead and it’s related components have been found in and around our homes, paint, ceramics, pipes, solders, gasoline, batteries, ammunition, toys and even cosmetics.
Groups who tend to suffer the most side effects from lead exposure are children, pregnant women and seniors – those who are vulnerable and who we should be striving to protect the most.
