Lead Poisons

Lead is a heavy metal that has been used for many centuries in a huge number of household products. In recent times we have discovered that the lead content in these products can result in lead poisoning, and its inclusion in these products is now banned or heavily limited. Some of the most common types of lead poisons include leaded house paint, lead pipes and leaded gasoline. There are also many other non-obvious products that contain lead poisons, including roller blinds, fashion jewelry, ceramic tiles, batteries, solder, ammunition and certain herbal medicines. Experts regard soldering as the most common cause of lead contamination in household water today.

Fast Facts

  • Lead was completely banned in construction materials by 1977
  • Before 1955 white house paint contained up to 50%. The most recent laws now limit the allowable amount of lead in paint at a maximum of 0.06%
  • Recent studies suggest up to 60% of adult ingestion of lead comes from the food we eat. Air inhalation accounts for 30% and water consumption for 10% of the lead poisons in our bodies.
