It was discovered that the exposure came from the father’s work clothing that was being contaminated with lead dust from working at an indoor shooting range.
The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) has estimated that there are approximately 16,000 to 18,000 non-military indoor firing ranges in the United States.
If an indoor shooting range has inadequate ventilation or improper cleaning practices, the facility can become contaminated with lead dust from the bullets being fired.[/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line”][divider line_type=”No Line”][divider line_type=”No Line”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” overlay_strength=”0.3″][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ width=”2/3″ tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default”][vc_column_text]Lead can harm almost every organ and system in your body.[/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line”][nectar_btn size=”medium” open_new_tab=”true” button_style=”regular” button_color_2=”Accent-Color” color_override=”#2d5594″ icon_family=”none” text=”Click Here to Read More About the Health Effects of Lead” url=”https://www.cdc.gov/niosh/topics/lead/health.html”][divider line_type=”No Line”][divider line_type=”No Line”][vc_column_text]Lead testing can protect your employees and customers.[/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line”][nectar_btn size=”medium” open_new_tab=”true” button_style=”regular” button_color_2=”Accent-Color” color_override=”#2d5594″ icon_family=”none” text=”Click Here to Schedule Lead Testing or Lead Paint Removal” url=”mailto:ashleyp@baxtergroupinc.com”][/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ width=”1/3″ tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default”][image_with_animation image_url=”2812″ alignment=”center” animation=”Fade In” box_shadow=”none” max_width=”100%”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” overlay_strength=”0.3″][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ width=”1/1″ tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” overlay_strength=”0.3″][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ width=”1/1″ tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default”][/vc_column][/vc_row]
