10 Tips for Preventing Lead Poisoning |
- Wet mop twice a week.
- Wash children’s hands, toys,
pacifiers, and bottles often.
- Get all children under the age of 6 tested for
lead.
- Don't let children eat paint chips
or pick at peeling paint.
- Take your shoes off before
entering the house.
- Do not allow children to play in
bare dirt or soil. Cover soil with grass, mulch
or bushes.
- Feed your children a diet rich in
calcium and iron.
- Always use cold tap water.
- Follow lead safe work practices
when doing work on homes.
- If you work with lead, don't bring
lead home from work
on clothes and shoes.
