Why lead-based paint matters?

Lead-based paint poses a serious health threat. When it deteriorates or is disturbed, it releases toxic dust and particles into the air, which, when ingested or inhaled, can cause lead poisoning. Children and pregnant women are especially vulnerable. Lead poisoning can result in developmental delays, learning difficulties, behavioral problems, and harm to vital organs. Identifying and addressing lead-based paint in your environment is essential for creating a safe and healthy living or working space for everyone.
