    Lead Poisoning

    Lead Poisoning is a medical condition caused by elevated levels of the heavy metal lead in the body. Lead is toxic to many organs and tissues including the heart, bones, kidneys, and nervous system. Because it affects the development of the nervous system, it is particularly toxic to children, who may suffer permanent learning or behavior disorders due to prolonged exposure.
