Preventing Lead Poisoning

Keep children away from peeling paint and broken plaster.
Damp mop floors, furniture, and window sills when cleaning.
Wash your child's hands, pacifiers, and toys often and always before meals, snacks and sleeping.
Fix healthy meals high in calcium, iron and vitamin c.
Store food from open cans in glass or plastic containers.
Let cold tap water run for at least a minute before using to flush lead that may have been picked up from the pipes.
