Concern about child lead test result?
My 14 month old had his lead test come back at a level of 5. I believe this is microns per deciliter. I am very concerned, although I read that there is no concern unless it’s 10 or above. But then I read in other sources that any amount of lead causes damage. I left some of the lead paint alone in my house as I didn’t want to disturb it and create dust. It was not in a location where he could eat the chips. Could the deteriorating paint have contaminated the air? I do have several filters running. Also, could he have picked up this level by crawling around and putting his fingers in his mouth, or through contact with his toys (as in the recent news). I also read that power cords and glossy magazines have an amount of lead in this. How about living near the interstate or in a mining community. This is about ready to drive me nuts. I want to know what source caused this level. Let me know if you have any information that will put me at ease.
Thanks
