Lead is a toxic metal that was used many years in products found in and around homes.  Lead can cause a range of health problems from learning disabilities to seizures.

Some of the most common sources of lead poisoning are:

Deteriorating lead-based paint

Lead contamination dust

Lead contaminated residential dust
