A member asked:
Is this statement true? all it takes is the lead dust equivalent of a single grain of salt for a child to register an elevated blood lead level. "
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not really: you need prolonged exposure to a source of lead/lead dust to develop unsafe blood lead levels, and most of the cases are symptomless early in the disease, that's why screening for lead poisoning is important in children and in high risk areas
