A member asked:
Is it ok for my pregnant wife to paint?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably not: Even though the lead content of paint has been regulated since 1977, painting as a hobby is a still a source of lead exposure. In pregnant women, slight elevations of blood lead levels are concerning, due to the potential for adverse effects on the developing fetus. Some doctors may tell you that the risk is negligible. However, if it were my wife and unborn child, i would not take a chance.
