What is Lead?

A toxic heavy metal that can have serious health effects if ingested or inhaled. Lead was commonly used in paint and other building materials before it was banned, so older properties may have lead paint or lead in the plumbing system. Lead can be particularly dangerous for young children, and can cause a range of health problems, including developmental delays and learning difficulties.
