A member asked:

Good day i work with lead alot at work so i went for tests on the 8th and got my results back and my lead count is 16 is it something to worry about?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes & test family: The lead you carry into your home on your clothing can become airborne in the washer/dryer & contaminate clothing of others in your household. Family members can run higher than normal levels by this indirect exposure. Your level is not in a toxic range but the effects are additive over time. The source needs to be removed & your level brought down.
