What is Lead?
Lead is a heavy metal found in the environment and may be present in small quantities in our bodies. Although it occurs naturally, lead is toxic to humans, and exposure can lead to serious health problems.
Why should you have Lead tested?
Testing for lead is important because exposure to high levels of lead can be harmful to almost all body systems. It is particularly important for pregnant women, young children, and people who live or work in environments with an increased risk of lead exposure, such as old houses with lead-containing paint or industrial areas.
What does it indicate?
Blood lead levels indicate the amount of lead present in the body. It helps assess lead exposure and identify individuals who may require medical intervention or exposure prevention.
What does a high lead level mean?
A high lead level in the blood can indicate recent or chronic lead exposure. It can lead to health problems such as neurological damage, developmental delays in children, high blood pressure, kidney problems, and fertility issues in adults.
What does a low lead level mean?
A low lead level is the target, as lead has no known essential function in the body. It means there is minimal to no lead exposure, which is ideal for good health.
