PEDIATRIC MD says NO level of lead (Pb) is safe
"
What are the dangers of lead exposure?
“No level of lead is safe,” says Maida P. Galvez, MD, a professor in the departments of environmental medicine and pediatrics at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York City.
Lead can leach out of cookware and into contaminated foods and drinks; acidic foods, in particular, promote the leaching of lead, she explains.
“Children are at higher risk of health impacts from exposure to lead, given their brains are still developing,” Dr. Galvez says. “Even low levels of lead can affect a child’s learning and behavior.”
Anyone exposed to lead may experience a range of symptoms, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), including:
- Metallic taste
- Abdominal pain
- Nausea or vomiting
- Diarrhea or constipation
- Dehydration
- Headaches
- Exhaustion, irritability, or weakness
- Appetite loss
- Memory loss
- Pain or tingling in your hands or feet
- Increased blood pressure
“Talk to your physician if you are concerned that you or your child has been exposed to lead,” Dr. Galvez says"
