We are now really living in a world of danger. There are lots of dangers all around. Aside from physical danger, there are also lots of factors around us that are already causing us harm even without our knowledge. These include lead exposure for example. We don’t even know or understand how this element can harm us.
We don’t even know what is it and where we can get this harm from. All we know is that lead is a soft, malleable poor metal. It has a bluish-white color after being freshly cut, but it soon tarnishes to a dull grayish color when exposed to air. But we do not know that this element can really harm us not just immediately. There are unwanted effects but the worse is that there are lots of long term effect on us if we are exposed from this element. It is better to ensure yourself and especially your children for lead safety. Do not buy unregulated toys available in the market. These might be the source of lead exposure but any thing that you think of actually might have lead as well. Lead can cause diminished learning abilities of children and can also disrupt behavior of children, such as aggression, impulsive behavior and hyperactivity. The worse side effect is brain damage.
For security reason it is better to educate also those who are babby sitting your children.
