The most common sources of lead poisoning in children are lead–based paint and lead–contaminated dust in older buildings. Children and adults can be affected by contaminated air, water and soil. Also, lead can be associated with some occupations, such as home renovations and auto repair shops.  Any building, whether a home, school or daycare center, if built before 1978, contains lead paint. Problem areas include painted windows and doors, where lead dust can build up when painted surfaces are rubbed together. Even if the old paint has been recovered, lead dust can be released into the air when hammering, sanding or during a home renovation. According to the annual report of the American Association of Poison Control Center, National Poison Data System, there were 3,557 cases of lead poisoning in the United States in 2007. Lead paint poisoning over a prolonged period can lower IQs and developmental disabilities in children. It can damage an adult’s blood-forming, nervous, urinary and reproductive system.

The lead poisoning attorneys at Jonathan Perkins Injury Lawyers represent clients whose health has been negatively impacted because of lead poisoning. If you have been wrongfully injured due to lead exposure, it’s advisable to seek an attorney to help you with your claim.
