If you are being sued in Baltimore for lead liability, contact lead poisoning defense attorney Charles Ware and his staff at (410) 720-6129 or (410) 730-5016.
Baltimore is well-known for its lead poison problem. Even though not all of this lead poison problem can be blamed, nor should be blamed, on leaded paint in pre-1978 built apartments and houses, it is still helpful for parents as well as landlords, among others, to know how lead poisons children.
To begin with, be aware that lead is virtually everywhere in the Baltimore city area. For example, lead can be found in Baltimore's air that we breathe, in the water that we drink and use, in the food and drink that we ingest, in the soil(dirt), and in many other products we use and consume, etc.
Lead in sufficient quantities is very harmful to the human body; and especially in youg children under the age of 6 years.
Lead, among other adverse effects, can inhibit oxygen and calcium transport to the brain and other areas of the body, and can negatively alter nerve transmission in the brain. This can generally happen when enough lead is inhaled or ingested into the body.
Children are doubly affected by lead because their highest potential for exposure to lead occurs when they are most vulnerable. Since young children engage in more hands-to-mouth activity than adults, crawling and playing on the ground (soil), they can ingest and inhale more toxic lead and other contaminants in dust and dirt. This heightened exposure to lead comes at a time in their young lives when children's bodies are building their vital organs ( such as their brain, lungs, liver, kidney, etc.), skeletal and nervous systems.
