Lead is a heavy metal found in the environment, and it can be very dangerous if ingested. It has been linked to health effects such as reduced IQ, learning disabilities, memory loss, hearing loss, kidney damage, and reproductive problems.
In recent years, lead exposure has become an increasingly serious problem among children due to its presence in paint chips, dust, and soil. Lead can also be found in old plumbing fixtures and waterways contaminated with industrial waste.
Since one can find lead in a variety of residential and commercial spaces, testing for lead is a crucial step in protecting the health of anyone who may come in contact with these spaces. PbFreeOhio is passionate about helping those in need with lead education and testing, but we understand that lead testing is another cost for many.
