MARYLAND ADULT LEAD EXPOSURE
Generally, here in Maryland as well as throughout the nation, adult lead poisoning arises out of occupational exposure --- not from residential units. Most cases of occupational lead poisoning occur through inhalation. That is, plaintiffs' lead poisoning is allegedly a direct result of unsafe lead-involved work conditions, the negligence of the defendant on the job, or violation of various individual state statutes that require employers to provide adequate protection for workers to avoid exposure to lead.
Even in occupational cases, however, it is important to explore and investigate whether the plaintiff could have been exposed by any other source, including hobbies such as pottery/ceramics, auto repair, stained glass/painting, printmaking, hunting/target shooting, and playing games with lead figures.
occupations and trades associated with lead exposure include construction work, manufacturing (pigment, lead battery, chemicals, etc.), gas companies and service stations, work associated with lead )mining, smelting, refining, soldering, etc.), and others. It is critical that employers follow normal industry standards, as well as Occupational Safety Health Administration (OSHA) regulations to minimize lead exposure.
