Negative Effects of Lead Poisoning

Lead poisoning is a serious and potentially life-threatening condition caused by exposure to lead, a toxic heavy metal.

It can lead to severe health problems, particularly for children and pregnant women. In children, lead poisoning can impair brain development, causing learning disabilities, behavioral issues, and developmental delays.

In adults, it can result in high blood pressure, joint pain, memory loss, and kidney damage. Long-term exposure may also compromise the immune system and lead to anemia. Lead poisoning is dangerous because its effects can be gradual and sometimes irreversible, making early detection and prevention crucial.
