| 1. Make sure that your children wash their hands and face before eating and sleeping. |
| 2. Prevent your children from eating things other than food (eg, dirt, paint). |
| 3. Make sure that all surfaces (floors, countertops, tabletops, etc) have been thoroughly cleaned with a detergent. This is especially important for toddlers since they crawl and lay on the floor and frequently put their hands in their mouths. |
| 4. If your home was built prior to 1977, it is extremely important to remove any flaking or peeling paint in the house, since older homes frequently were painted with lead-based paint. Hire a professional certified in lead paint abatement. Painting over lead-based paint, or applying wallpaper, are only temporary ways to control exposure, and are not acceptable means of control. Protective equipment and respirators must be worn in the removal of lead-based paint from walls and woodwork. |
| 5. Make sure that your children receive the recommended daily allowance of multivitamins with iron. They should have well-balanced diets that include a combination of fruits, vegetables, grains, protein, and dairy products. |
| 6. Do not use herbal or folk medicine (these may contain lead). |
| 7. If you are not sure if your pottery has a lead glaze, use it only for decoration. |
| 8. Store food in glass, plastic, or stainless steel containers, not in open cans. |
| 9. Use water from the cold tap for cooking and drinking. Let it run for several minutes before collecting for use. |
| 10. Be careful to keep materials for hobbies, such as those used for making ceramics or stained glass, away from children and areas where they spend time. |
