HOW DO YOUNG CHILDREN COMMONLY GET EXPOSED TO LEAD? The most common way children are lead poisoned is from exposure to lead paint, which is commonly found in homes built before 1978. Disturbing the lead paint allows dust to settle on toys, windowsills and floors. Children can then easily swallow bits of dust and paint chips. Children may also be exposed to lead through lead pipes, imported candies, jewelry and toys.
