Scientists know that lead exposure during childhood harms the developing brain and nervous system, but it is not clear if childhood lead exposure has long-lasting effects on adult brain function. Changes in adult intelligence quotients â IQs â is a way to measure effects of lead and other neurotoxic substances.
In the general population, lead may be present in small but hazardous concentrations in food, water, and air. Lead poisoning from deteriorating old paint is the primary source of elevated blood lead levels in children. Children under the age of six are at risk of developing cognitive health effects even at very low blood lead levels.

Another source of environmental exposure to lead is from workers who take home lead dust on their clothing and shoes.
