Reducing Your Risk

There are simple steps that can be taken to reduce exposure to lead:

Ensure that your children have a nutritious diet strong in iron and calcium. This will reduce the amount of lead their body takes in.

  • Keep children from chewing on window sills or other painted surfaces.

  • Wash children’s hands often throughout the day, especially before meals and bedtime.

  • Wash bottles, pacifiers, toys, and stuffed animals regularly.

  • Clean-up paint chips immediately.

  • Notify your landlord of peeling or chipping paint.

  • Clean floors, window frames, window sills, and other surfaces weekly using warm water and a general all-purpose cleaner. Never mix ammonia and bleach as they can form a dangerous gas.

  • Clean or remove shoes before entering your home to avoid tracking in lead from soil.

  • Bath pets on a regular basis to reduce the amount of dirt they bring in from the outside.
