Lead Take-Home Poisonings

Posted on September 4, 2009 by David Oliver

The CDC has reported on six cases of children exposed to lead while in their car seats who developed lead poisoning.  The lead was not in the car seats but rather tracked into the vehicles by the husbands or boyfriends of the children's' mothers.  The contamination had come from metal recycling or paint removal job sites.  Hat tip:  Dr. Buttery's Public Health BLOG.
