Lead

Lead is a metal that can be found in the environment, around the home or at workplaces. If untreated, lead poisoning can be serious.

Lead poisoning

Too much exposure to lead can cause lead poisoning and associated health problems. It can take months or years to develop lead poisoning if you are exposed to a small amount. A lot of lead exposure can quickly lead to more serious lead poisoning.

Lead-based paint

You can get lead poisoning if you do not take care when you remove lead-based paint from the inside or outside of a building.
