Lead safety refers to practices and guidelines aimed at minimizing exposure to lead, a toxic metal that can cause serious health issues, especially in children. Common sources of lead exposure include lead-based paint, contaminated soil, and plumbing fixtures made of lead. It is crucial to identify and manage these sources to protect public health. To ensure lead safety, regular testing of homes, especially those built before 1978 when lead-based paint was banned, is recommended. If lead is found, proper remediation techniques should be employed. Additionally, educating the public about the risks of lead exposure and safe practices can help reduce health risks associated with this hazardous material.
