LOWER YOUR CHANCES OF EXPOSURE TO LEAD

Simple steps like keeping your home clean and well-maintained will go a long way in preventing lead exposure. You can lower the chances of exposure to lead in your home, both now and in the future, by taking these steps:

• Inspect and maintain all painted surfaces to prevent paint deterioration.

• Address water damage quickly and completely.

• Keep your home clean and dust-free.

• Clean around painted areas where friction can generate dust, such as doors, windows, and drawers. Wipe these areas with a wet sponge or rag to remove paint chips or dust.

• Use only cold water to prepare food and drinks.

• Flush water outlets used for drinking or food preparation.

• Clean debris out of outlet screens or faucet aerators on a regular basis.

• Wash children's hands, bottles, pacifiers and toys often.

• Teach children to wipe and remove their shoes and wash hands after playing outdoors.

• Ensure that your family members eat well-balanced meals. Children with healthy diets absorb less lead.
