Lead is a metallic element that occurs naturally. It is a key component of several manufacturing products such as pipes, batteries, and earlier paints (Mayo Clinic, 2019). Poor environmental management can lead to exposure to lead, which is detrimental to human health. Thus, it is crucial to understand the extent and severity of the issue in the United States to determine if it warrants healthcare interventions. Lead exposure affects all people. However, children are at heightened risk. Juvenile behavior, such as putting objects in their mouths, increases the risk of lead poisoning among children below five years. High levels of lead in the blood stunt physical and mental growth. It may also result in cardiovascular complications and kidney and liver failure later in life (Nakhaee et al., 2019). Adults interact with lead by breathing in contaminated air and touching surfaces with lead. Pregnant and lactating women risk their infant’s health since lead can cross the placenta. It is also transferable through breastmilk.
