The most common source of lead poisoning today is lead-based paint. While lead paint has been removed from buildings in the past few decades, lead paint chips and lead dust are still a common sight in many apartment buildings.

Lead was used in a wide range of consumer and commercial products over the last century. Unfortunately, lead is also a highly toxic metal that is known to cause serious health problems and even death. The most common source of lead poisoning today is lead-based paint. While lead paint has been removed from buildings in the past few decades, lead paint chips and lead dust are still a common sight in many apartment buildings. These problems are especially bad in low-rent buildings, most of which have not been rehabbed.Children have the greatest risk of developing lead poisoning. In part, because many of their internal organs and systems are still developing, and in part because children simply cannot handle the same lead levels that an adult can.
