Protect Your Children From LeadDid You Know?
The Dangers of Lead
Lead-based paint is a major source of lead poisoning for children and can affect adults. Even low levels of lead in children can result in stunted mental and physical development, learning disorders, and behavior problems. Lead can even cause abnormal fetal development in pregnant women.
You might have lead in and around your home without knowing it because you cannot see, taste or smell lead. Lead is most commonly found on exterior-painted surfaces, interior woodwork, doors, and windows. The greatest threat is breathing or ingesting dust from lead-based paint as it chips or deteriorates over time.
Blood Testing
La Maestra Community Health Center conducts the blood tests using a non-invasive Lead Care II blood analyzer that was purchased by the Housing Commission under a program grant in 2008.
Test results are immediate – within three minutes. If a child tests positive, families will be referred for further medical evaluation. In addition, families are provided with information on how to eliminate lead hazards, offered a free home inspection, and encouraged to sign-up for the “Home Safe Home” Program.
Bring your children or grandchildren under the age of six for a blood test for the presence of lead.
