|  Many people wrongly believe that because much of the housing in Arizona was built after lead-based paint was banned in 1978, lead poisoning is not a concern in our state. It's important to know there are several sources of lead in the environment beyond lead-based paint. Lead can be found in certain foods, cosmetics, and traditional medicines imported from other countries. You cannot tell if a food, candy, spice, medicine, or cosmetic contains lead by looking at or tasting it. Other sources of lead to consider include soil, dust, dishes that contain lead, drinking water, or jobs and hobbies with potential lead exposure.
It's important to know how to protect children from lead exposure. Our latest blog tells you how. | | | |
