For Children
Why us?
- You are young. You are in a stage of growth, both physically and intellectually.
-
You may be able to accept new ideals, new knowledge faster than our parents are.
-
Or maybe you have to take care of yourselves since your parents are busy on something else.
What are you talking about?
-
Lead, a type of heavy metal that is able to cause big troubles for children in growing stage.
-
Do you drink milk? Yes. You do. You want to get more calcium by drinking milk. But, lead goes where calcium goes. So, lead is going to damage your bones and brains.
Where does the lead come from?
-
Sorts of places. But, most importantly, from lead-based paint.
Does the paint in our house have lead?
