What are the Affects of Lead Poisoning?

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention defines lead poisoning as an elevated blood lead level greater than 5 micrograms per deciliter. Previously, it was thought that only exposures of more than 20 mg/dl could harm the developing child’s brain and central nervous system. The unsafe level has been lowered multiple times over the last several decades.

Several serious consequences can result from this form of poisoning. These include:

• Loss of IQ points
• Speech problems
• Developmental delays
• Loss of learning capacity
• Hyperactivity and attention disorder (ADHD)
• Delinquent and criminal behavior
• Brain damage
• Wrongful death

A recent study was conducted on the students who attend Detroit Public Schools (DPS) by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

The study found that the children with high blood levels did not test as proficiently as other students. The study factored out other potential influences on poor test performance and concluded that lead poisoning was a major cause of learning disability in the City of Detroit.

What are the Signs and Symptoms of Lead Poisoning?

Many children show no symptoms of lead poisoning. Even low amounts of lead in the blood can lead to learning and behavior problems, like trouble paying attention. Other symptoms include:

• Loss of appetite
• Feeling tired or irritable
• Poor growth
• Nausea and vomiting
• Constipation
• Stomach pain
• Headaches
• Joint pain and muscle weakness
• In some rare cases, seizures and even death

Lead poisoning is detected through a blood test at your child’s healthcare provider, usually in a routine test at an annual exam.

Additionally, doctors may recommend lead tests for children who have a known exposure to lead, such as WanaBana apple sauce pouches, or are at a higher risk of exposure, such as those who live in an older home and have a parent who works around lead.  A lawyer at the Buckfire Law Firm will review the medical records to prove your child was damaged by lead poisoning.
