Even at small doses, lead poses a health threat, especially for pregnant women and young children.
Lead can damage growing brains and cause reduced IQs, attention disorders and other problem behaviors.
Infants fed formula made with contaminated tap water face significant risk.
Adults are not immune, with evidence linking lead exposure to kidney problems, high blood pressure and increased risks of cardiovascular deaths.
The EPA stresses there is no safe level of lead exposure.
