Question

Most cases of lead poisoning in the US occur among children who eat chips of lead
containing paint that have peeled off the ceilings and walls of old buildings. Lead paints
were widely used for home interiors until the 1940's and in many city slums, where
buildings have been poorly kept 15 percent to 20 percent of the children between the ages
of one and five show evidence of lead ingestion. It is estimated that 3 percent to 5 percent
have potentially toxic levels of lead in their blood. In large cities, hundreds of cases
among children are reported each year, but it is believed that the actual number may be
much higher. In industries that use lead or lead components, lead poisoning among
workers is a potentially serious hazard, but present control measures are so stringent that
cases of industrial poisoning are rare.
Symptoms of lead poisoning develop slowly after several months of lead ingestion.
Early symptoms are mild diarrhea, anemia and irritability. As the level of lead rises stupor
and convulsions occur, often leading to death. The prevention of leading poisoning is
therefore of prime importance. An effective measure program includes making the public
aware of the danger, testing paint in dilapidated buildings, examining children for evidence
of lead ingestion and keeping children out of unsafe houses.
