Lead Poisoning

Have you taken the time to inspect the objects around you that contain lead?

There are many more than the average person realizes. Lead is found in common things like toys, furniture, paint (before 1978), plumbing, and even dinnerware. The same goes for the workplace. In fact, it is estimated that around 1.5 million people are exposed to lead at their job. This is precisely why lead is so dangerous: it is more prevalent than believed, and yet it can be very hard to detect. And even though lead poisoning is generally associated with children, because of the devastating effects it can have on their growth, adults are also victims to this poison. Being exposed to lead is serious, and you have rights that protect you from those at fault.
