Description:Approximately 310,000 U.S. children aged 1–5 years have blood lead levels greater than 10 micrograms of lead per deciliter of blood, a level at which harmful health effects are known to occur.
Lead poisoning can affect nearly every system in the body. Because lead poisoning often occurs with no obvious symptoms, it frequently goes unrecognized. Lead poisoning can cause learning disabilities, behavioral problems, and, at very high levels, seizures, coma, and even death.
