The paint was widely used, though, and has looming effects on the inhabitants of these older homes and buildings.

You may be entitled to compensation if you or your child has suffered the impact of lead paint poisoning. A Raleigh lead paint poisoning lawyer can discuss the options you have during a free evaluation.

Effects of Lead Paint Poisoning in Children

Children are harmed through the ingestion of lead-based paint chips or by simply breathing the dust that is created when the paint is sanded or a renovation of the house occurs. Children are generally most susceptible because they come into contact with the substance during their developmental stages. Medical professionals say that the neurotoxin damages the developing brain of the young one and in severe cases, can cause death.

Other effects of lead paint poisoning include:

  • Decreased IQ & intellect
  • Learning disabilities
  • Academic struggles
  • ADD or ADHD
  • Antisocial characteristics
