Lead Poisoning is the number one preventable disease among children (birth to 7 years old) affecting more than 200,000 children each year. Lead poisoning is caused by the ingestion and inhalation of lead compounds from lead contaminated paint and lead dust caused by the break-down of the lead paint. According to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), 75% of all private housing built before 1978 contains some lead paint.
