Lead is a toxic heavy metal that can accumulate in the body over time. Even low-level exposure can cause hypertension, kidney damage, cognitive impairment, and reproductive issues in adults. Common sources include older homes with lead paint, contaminated water, occupational exposure (construction, battery manufacturing, shooting ranges), and certain imported goods. The CDC considers any detectable blood lead level in adults to be above the reference value. This test is important for workers in high-risk occupations, residents of older housing, and anyone concerned about environmental lead exposure.
