Reduce your child's
risk of lead poisoning
BY SUSAN T. LENNON
AFTER THE alerts about lead
tainted toys from China, doc
tors now are on the lookout for lead
poisoning, but there’s a snag.
“Compared with 20,25 years ago,
children may not have obvious symp
toms,” says John F. Rosen, M.D.,
head of the Monte
fiore Medical Center
Lead Poisoning Pre
vention Program.
“And damage oc
curs at levels lower
than once thought
to be safe.”
Lead causes irreversible brain
damage in children.
THE GOOD NEWS: Lead poison
ing is 100% preventable. Rosen backs
up these Environmental Protection
Agency tips and adds insights:
■ Screen your child, beginning as
young as 6 mouths. Testing can stop
at age 6 unless the child is at risk for
lead poisoning.
■ If your home was built before
1978, test for lead paint. A new rule
by the EPA eventually will require
contractors who work in pre-1978
housing or child-care facilities to be
certified in lead-safe techniques.
Do-it-yourselfers who disturb lead
paint should contain the work area,
minimize dust and clean up well.
■ Make hand-washing mandatory
before eating. FVequently scrub items
that tend to go in your child’s mouth
(pacifiers, toys).
Speaking of toys, Rosen says the
risk from Chinese imports is real. He
says to beware “dollar stores” selling
jewelry and painted toys. “If your
child has been playing with or wear
ing one of these items for a month,
seek out a blood lead test.” □
