Lead exposure, especially in young children, can have devastating lifelong consequences. Even low levels of lead exposure can affect a child's brain development, leading to learning disabilities, behavioral problems, and reduced IQ. Children under the age of six are particularly vulnerable, as their rapidly developing brains and bodies absorb lead more easily.
