Description: #Lead-safety is an essential concern in homes for people of all ages, especially young children and pregnant women, as they are most susceptible to the harmful effects of lead exposure. To ensure lead safety in homes, it is important to identify and remove any sources of lead, such as lead-based paint, dust, and soil. Regular cleaning and maintenance can also help prevent lead dust from accumulating in living spaces. This resource, developed by the Environmental Protection Agency (#EPA) and distributed by #MSDE, is a document for #teachers, #directors and #providers to use in order to educate #parents and #families about #lead-safety including information on how to get rid of lead sources and how people can contract lead poisoning.
