Did you know that infants can be exposed to lead through breastfeeding?

🍼 Lead can contaminate breast milk when a parent has experienced lead exposure. This can stem from recent activities—such as workplace hazards, hobbies, or home renovations—or past exposure, as stored lead in bones can be released during pregnancy and lactation.

💜 Most parents can safely continue to breastfeed even with trace amounts of lead in their system. Healthcare providers should monitor parent and infant health with routine blood lead testing.

🔍 Guidance on breast milk safety and lead levels:
If blood lead levels reach or exceed 40 micrograms per deciliter, providers should advise pumping and discarding milk until levels decrease.
Testing breast milk directly for lead is not recommended.

🧑‍🏭🏗️ Lead from your job or hobby can follow you home!

Did you know that some jobs and hobbies can expose you to lead dust and fumes? It can stick to your clothes, shoes, hair, skin, and personal items. This “take-home lead” can transfer to your vehicle, carpet, floors, and furniture—putting your family at risk for lead exposure.

Protect your family by preventing the spread of take-home lead today! 🧑‍🧑‍🧒

Wet-cleaning is the safest way to remove lead dust from your home! 🧼

Lead dust can settle on different surfaces and expose your loved ones to harmful levels of lead. But a rag, mop, and some soapy water can go a long way in keeping your home lead-free. 🫧

📚 We had a great time at NOHME's Back to School Event connecting with students, parents, and community members!

Our team shared lead safety resources, answered questions about lead exposure, and demonstrated our handheld XRF analyzer by testing household items for lead and other heavy metals. From ceramic dishes to jewelry and even car keys, families got a firsthand look at how XRF technology can help identify potential sources of lead exposure.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by our booth, and thank you to NOHME for hosting another wonderful community event. We look forward to seeing you at future outreach events across Nevada! 💙

Small bites, big impact 🥦 A healthy, balanced diet can help protect children from lead exposure—especially when it includes nutrients like calcium, iron, vitamin C, and zinc.

Why? Because when kids don’t get enough of these nutrients, their bodies are more likely to absorb lead instead. That’s why good nutrition is a key step in lead prevention 💪
