Lead poisoning in children is a major health concern. Both low and high doses of paint can have serious effects. Children exposed to high doses of lead often suffer permanent nerve damage, mental retardation, blindness, and even death. Low doses of lead can lead to mild mental 5 retardation, short attention spans, distractibility, poor academic performance, and behavioral problems.This is not a new concern.
