Protecting Martinsburg-Area Families from Lead Exposure
Remain Cognizant of Lead Exposure in Martinsburg-Area Homes
Residential properties with newer coats of paint can sometimes contain an unsafe amount of lead when not properly maintained. When paint chips or deteriorates, individuals can absorb or swallow lead particles and experience serious ailments as a result. Some of the symptoms of lead ingestion include memory loss, irritation, loss of appetite, fatigue, abdominal pain, constipation, depression, and weakness. Exposure to high levels of lead can cause brain and kidney damage, as well as anemia, while very high levels of lead exposure can cause death. Children and pregnant women are often more susceptible to lead exposure, which can have severe consequences. Additionally, it can lead to infertility in both men and women.

Consider Active Sources of Lead at Home or the Workplace
