Lead In Soil

Summer means more outdoor play — but be careful where kids dig in the dirt. Lead exposure can harm a child’s brain and development, even in small amounts. Here are some tips to help keep your children safe:

  1. Wash hands and toys after outdoor play
  2. Don’t let kids play in bare soil near roads or construction areas
  3. Avoid letting kids eat dirt or put hands in their mouths
  4. Rinse homegrown fruits and veggies well
