lead contamination
Poisonous metal pollution
Lead contamination is the presence of lead in environments where it poses health risks—soil, water, paint, or air.
Lead is a toxic heavy metal that accumulates in the body, causing neurological damage especially in children.
The city tested homes for lead contamination after old pipes corroded.
Common sources include aging infrastructure, industrial emissions, and deteriorating paint in pre-1978 buildings.
