Which of the following is associated with a risk of lead poisoning?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Eating lead paint chips is a common source of lead poisoning as the paint used in houses and buildings prior to 1978 contained lead. Other sources of lead exposure include contaminated soil, lead pipes, leaded gasoline, and some pottery and toys. Living in a home built after 1980 would not necessarily be a risk factor as lead paint was banned in the United States in 1978. A genetic predisposition to lead poisoning may make someone more susceptible to the effects of lead exposure but does not increase the risk of exposure itself. Living in a city with coal-burning industries may increase exposure to lead and other pollutants, but lead poisoning can occur in any environment where lead is present.
