Lead Poisoning: Biggest Hazard Still Old Homes
The frequency of reports regarding children’s toys and products that have been found to contain high levels of lead paint is definitely alarming. Most of these toys are being imported from China and are being sold at larger retailers in the United States. Those same toys are not being sold in Europe, where governments had previously imposed higher standards to keep those toys out of their markets.
What is even more alarming though, is that the homes that the children live in througout the United States still pose the biggest threat of lead poisoning, and not the toys and other products. In many major cities, there are several thousand children each year diagnosed with lead poisoning with the source of the poisoning specifically identified as peeling and chipping paint in their home. Although the media has focused on the recent product recalls of products containing lead paint, there have been no lead poisonings reported that have resulted from those products. It is great that these things are being pulled from the store shelves, but focusing on the primary threat to children (paint in older homes) should be given more attention by the government and the media.
