Question
What is the normal blood lead level for a 2-year-old?
Answer
If a 2-year-old’s blood lead level exceeds 60 micrograms per deciliter (2.88 micromoles per liter), symptoms and signs of nervous system damage may occur. If it remains above 1.92 micromoles per liter (40 micrograms per deciliter), there may be varying degrees of nervous system damage.
