| Communities across the country may have potentially harmful lead pipes. |
Across the country,
health experts have found unsafe levels of lead in water at schools,
prompting administrators and school districts to pursue actions to
limit the health threats that result from exposure to lead,
especially among children and young people. Following the
highly-publicized cases of lead poisoning in Flint, Mich., many
people want to act in a proactive way to eliminate unsafe lead from
schools, apartments, houses, libraries, community centers and other
structures before it sickens people. Environmental remediation
companies across the South Florida region can help schools and other
entities reduce the dangers of lead exposure with lead remediation south florida services.
Aging schools and
other structures in Miami and other locations across the South
Florida region may contain lead piping and/or lead paint that
potentially pose dangers to people. Rightfully, people have sought
out companies that offer lead removal miami services to test for lead
and to get rid of lead when they find it. Before people became aware
of its dangers, they used lead for water lines and plumbing lines in
communities and structures all over the country. Some older
communities in the Miami area could have used either lead pipes or
lead paint. Lead abatement Miami companies can identify lead piping
and lead service lines and replace them with safer alternatives.
Exposure to lead can
have severely harmful effects for both adults and children. Lead
exposure can cause fatigue, weakness, headaches, constipation,
irritability and other symptoms, according to the Centers for Disease
Control & Prevention. Young children exposed to lead can
experience physical and mental developmental problems. Lead exposure
can also lead to health problems like anemia, kidney failure, and
other problems of the nervous system, gastrointestinal system and
neuromuscular system.
Understandably,
school administrators have wanted to tackle the challenge of lead in
schools before it leads to serious medical problems for students,
educators and staff.
