Help Prevent Lead Poisoning.

A SIMPLE TEST CAN PROTECT
YOUR CHILDREN.


Where Does Lead Come From?
 
  •     Paint dust
    		•
  •     Chipping and peeling paint
    		•
  •     Dust and dirt around constructions sites and
               older buildings
     
    		•


    What Can You Do?
     
  •     Have your children tested for lead.
    		•
  •     Get tested if you are pregnant. Lead in a
               mother’s body can harm her baby.
    		•
  •     Dust your house often with a damp cloth.
    		•
  •     Eat and serve foods rich in iron and calcium.
