Lead Poisoning Risk Increases In Summer Time

(Bismarck, ND) — With summer fast approaching, the risk of lead poisoning is on the rise. As high levels of lead can be found in water, the risk for children is especially high in the summer at community pools. Construction contributes to higher levels as well, kicking up a lot of dust into the air. Other sources of lead can be paint in older homes, emissions, and in the soil.
