Children under age 6, as well as pregnant and breastfeeding persons, face the greatest risk for lead poisoning 🫄👶

During pregnancy, lead stored in a person's bones from past exposures can be released into the bloodstream and cross the placenta, exposing the developing baby. Young children are especially vulnerable to lead exposure because they often put their hands and objects in their mouths, their brains and bodies are undergoing rapid growth and development, and they absorb lead more easily than adults.

Their risk can also be influenced by where they live, study, work, and play. Around the world, environmental contamination, industrial activities, and legacy lead can increase opportunities for exposure.

▶️ Swipe to explore the factors that can increase lead exposure risk for children and families. 🤔 Stay tuned to learn when children should be tested for lead!
