Protecting Children from Lead in Eagle Mountain
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.
While lead results averaged over Eagle Mountain ZIP codes come in under 10 micrograms per liter, that figure combines many 90th-percentile values and cannot describe one building, including the 1% of housing that predates 1986.
