When children have high lead levels, the first thing to consider is the air, because the air contains many heavy metal factors, not just lead. You can let your child wear a mask for simple filtering and don't let your child walk by himself. Try to make it as high as possible so that the lead layer is lower. Children who are short will naturally inhale more lead. Try to drink boiled water, as it contains a certain amount of lead.

Especially when adults smoke, do not let children inhale secondhand smoke, and do not let children stay in a newly renovated house. When buying new furniture for your child, you should let it air-dry as this will help the child's health. Try not to use richly colored furniture such as bowls for your child. Do not let children eat foods that contain high levels of lead, especially preserved eggs and canned foods. Adults should also eat less of them.
