Lead exposure can come from various sources

Was your house built before 1978? Have you ever had your home tested for lead before? Are there any visible signs of chipping or peeling paint in your home? Do you reside in an urban, suburban, or rural setting? Have you renovated or remodeled any part of your home in the past 5 years? Is your home located near an industrial area or roadway with significant traffic? Do you use any antique or vintage items (like toys or furniture) that might contain lead-based paints? Have you tested your water for lead? If so, were there any detectable levels? Do you have children under the age of 6 in your household? Are you aware of any historical use of lead in your community, such as by factories, workshops, or other commercial establishments?
