Why children are most at risk: The CDC states that no safe blood lead level in children has been identified. Children under 6 absorb lead more readily than adults, and even low levels can cause developmental delays, learning difficulties, and behavioral problems.

No safe blood lead level in children has been identified, according to CDC, so an area average under 0.010 mg/L does not rule out exposure at home. In Lake Dallas, 25% of homes were built before 1986.
