mental retardation, short attention spans, distractibility, poor academic performance, and behavioral problems.
This is not a new concern. As early as 1904, lead poisoning in children was linked to lead-based paint.
Microscopic lead particles from paint are absorbed into the bloodstream when the children ingest flakes of
chipped paint, plaster or paint dust from sanding. Lead can also enter the body through household dust, nail
biting, thumb sucking, or chewing on toys and other objects painted with lead-based paint. Although American

houses are particularly at risk.

Lead poisoning in children is a major health concern. Both low and high doses of lead often suffer
permanent nerve damage, mental retardation, blindness and even death. Low doses of lead can lead to mild
mental retardation, short attention spans, distractibility, poor academic performance, and behavioral problems.
This is not a new concern. As early as 1904, lead poisoning in children was linked to lead-based paint.
Microscopic lead particles from paint are absorbed into the bloodstream when the children ingest flakes of
chipped paint, plaster or paint dust from sanding. Lead can also enter the body through household dust, nail
biting, thumb sucking, or chewing on toys and other objects painted with lead-based paint. Although American
paint companies nowadays must comply with strict regulations regarding the amount of lead used in their paint,
this source of lead poisoning is still the most common and most dangerous. Children living in order, diapidated
houses are particularly at risk.

John Travolta was born in 1954 in Englewood, New Jersey. He was the youngest of six children. He
wanted to become an actor. In 1975, he played in a TV program called Welcome back Kotter about a high
school teacher and his students. The program was very popular and Travolta became famous. Then he started
