What are the health risks of lead? Even in small amounts, lead is toxic to the brain and nervous system. There is really no safe level of lead in the blood. We are particularly concerned about children under 6 years old. Their brains are actively developing, and young children often touch a lot of things - and put their hands in their mouths.
