Lead Poisoning
There is no safe level of lead. Even small amount of lead can cause learning and behavior problems for children. Some of these health problems can last a lifetime, including brain and nervous system damage, slow growth and development, and hearing and speech problems. Children with lead poisoning do not look or act sick. Blood testing is the only way to determine if a child has lead poisoning. Most private and public health insurance (including Medi-Cal) will pay for testing.
