Minimize Your Risk of Lead Exposure

Inside and outside our homes, we are exposed to toxins and contaminants. It is impossible to prevent all exposures, but poisoning from lead based paint and dust can be prevented. Adults, children, and pets are at risk, but especially children with their nature of putting everything in their mouth. When I first started reading about possible exposure to lead, my son was just starting to become mobile. Our 100 year old home was starting to lose what I thought was character and instead became a potential hazard.
