keeping your children lead-free.

• Keep any areas where young children are free of lead dust.
• Make sure the children wash their hands frequently.
• Keep play areas clean; wash bottles, pacifiers, toys, and stuffed animals regularly.
• Make children and adults take off their shoes when entering your home. Lead dust can be tracked in on the bottoms of your shoes.
• Wet mop any surfaces that young children come into contact with at least once a week.
• Diet is an important part of keeping children safe. Help keep children healthy by making sure they eat foods high in calcium and iron and low in fat.
