<br />If you think your home has high <br />levels of lead: <br /> <br />. Get your young children tested for lead, even if <br />they seem healthy. <br /> <br />. Wash children's hands, bottles, pacifiers, and toys <br />often. <br /> <br />. Make sure children eat healthy, low-fat foods. <br /> <br />. Get your home checked for lead hazards. <br /> <br />. Regularly clean floors, window sills, and other <br />surfaces. <br /> <br />. Wipe soil off shoes before entering house. <br /> <br />. Talk to your landlord about fixing surfaces with <br />peeling or chipping paint. <br /> <br />. Take precautions to avoid exposure to lead dust <br />when remodeling or renovating (call 1 -800-424- <br />LEAD for guidelines). <br /> <br />. Don't use a belt-sander, propane torch, high <br />temperature heat gun, scraper, or sandpaper on <br />painted surfaces that may contain lead. <br /> <br />. Don't try to remove lead-based paint yourself. <br /> <br />
