Baltimore is well-known for its lead poisoning problem. Although not all of this can be blamed, nor should be blamed, on lead paint in pre 1978 built residential units in the Baltimore area, it is still helpful for parents and landlords, among others, to know how lead poisons children.
To begin, be aware that lead is virtually everywhere in the Baltimore area : for examples, in the air we breathe, in the water we drink and use, in the food and drinks we consume, in the soil, plumbing,
buildings, other products, etc.
Lead in sufficient quantities is very harmful to the human body; and especially to children under the age of 6. Lead, among other effects, can inhibit oxygen and calcium transport in the human body, and can adversely alter nerve transmission in the brain. This generally happens when enough lead is inhaled or ingested into the body. Children are doubly affected by lead because their highest potential for exposure 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 contaminants in dust and dirt. This high exposure comes at a time in their young lives when children's bodied are building their vital organs (such as their brain, etc.), skeletal and neural structures (nervous system).
