Fetuses, infants, and children are especially vulnerable to lead because lead is more easily absorbed into growing bodies, and the tissues of small children are more sensitive to the damaging effects of lead.
Lead in adults can increase blood pressure and cause digestive problems, kidney damage, nerve disorders, sleep problems, muscle and joint pain, and mood changes.
