Their smaller systems are more susceptible to absorbing and retaining lead, and because their bodies are growing, lead can do more developmental damage – leading to fetal abnormalities, cognitive impairment, neurological issues, and worse.
Today, at least 4 million U.S. households have children being exposed to high levels of lead.
1.2 million U.S. children currently have lead poisoning.
About 75% of lead-poisoned children are going untested, and therefore, untreated.

Lead: Lead is the single most important and most common toxic environmental exposure in the United States. Many thousands of Americans suffer new lead exposures every year. Lead exposure is particularly damaging to the brain of infants and children – causing life-long mental deficiency and behavioral problems. Lead is found in old house paint and old water service line pipes, as well as in the ground surrounding certain industrial sites and mines. Blood testing for lead is the only way to diagnose lead poisoning before it becomes very severe – and very hard to treat.
Mercury: Mercury poisoning has many of the same symptoms as lead poisoning. Mercury is toxic to the nerves and brain. It can damage the nerves to the arms and legs – causing pain and numbness – as well as affect speech, vision, and balance. In the United States most mercury poisoning comes from eating mercury-containing fish. Fish that tend to be high in mercury are tuna and mackerel, as well as fish caught in Great Lakes. Rarely, old amalgam dental fillings may erode and expose a dental patient to high levels of mercury. Blood testing is the best way to diagnose mercury poisoning.
Arsenic: Contaminated well water is the most common cause of arsenic poisoning. Arsenic is present in the earth in many locations and can easily seep into groundwater. Also, groundwater may contain runoff from industrial plants. Drinking arsenic-laden water over a long period of time will often result in arsenic poisoning. Rashes are the most common symptom of arsenic poisoning. Arsenic also can cause skin and other cancers. Again, blood testing is the best way to diagnose arsenic poisoning.
Cadmium: Cadmium poisoning usually is a result of exposure to cadmium during manufacturing or machine-repair processes. It occurs in welders quite frequently. Cadmium exposure directly damages the kidneys. Blood tests as well as urine tests can diagnose excessive cadmium exposure – however, once the diagnosis is established treatment will be based primarily on additional urine tests.
