the earth's crust. People spread it in
many ways. Lead used to be in paint and
gasoline. Lead can still be found in
contaminated soil, household dust,
drinking water, lead-glazed pottery and
some metal jewelry.
Breathing air, drinking water, eating
food or swallowing or touching dirt that
contains lead can cause many health
problems. In adults, lead can increase
blood pressure and cause infertility,
nerve disorders and muscle and joint
pain. It can also make you irritable and
affect your ability to concentrate and
remember.
Lead is especially dangerous for
children. A child who swallows large
amounts of lead may develop anemia,
severe stomachache, muscle weakness and
brain damage. Even low levels of lead
are linked to LOWER IQ SCORES!!!!
Lead is bluish white when freshly cut
but tarnishes to dull gray when exposed
to air. Lead is used in building
construction, lead-acid batteries,
bullets and shot, and is part of solder,
pewter, and fusible alloys.
Lead is a poisonous metal that can
damage nervous connections (especially
in young children) and cause blood and
brain disorders. Long term exposure to
lead or its salts (especially soluble
salts or the strong oxidant PbO2) can
cause nephropathy, and colic-like
abdominal pains.
MAKE UP's and Cellphones HAS LEAD.. aLso T,V's P.C's ETC..
