LEAD PAINT IS IN MILLIONS OF HOMES
There are about 25 million homes in the U.S.
with lead based paint. Over the years, the
paint deteriorates, slowly flaking, peeling, and
chipping. Walking on paint chips on wooden
porches or friction from opening and closing
windows painted with lead paint creates
dangerous lead dust. Toddlers always put
their fingers in their mouths. Obviously, it is
extremely dangerous for toddlers to live in a
house with deteriorating lead paint.
Science has now established that children
suffer from permanent brain damage from even
small amounts of lead. Brain and nerve
function damage to young children can rob
them of I.Q. points and permanently alter their
ability to learn, behave properly, and work.
Lead poisoned children commonly suffer
from ADHD. Young children are the most
susceptible to lead because their brains are
still developing until seven years of age.
