Lead contamination is a common environmental hazard. The most common cause of lead contamination is industrial use of lead. This includes manufacturing of lead-acid batteries, use of lead in manufacturing paint and water contamination through use of taps and pipes manufactured from lead. The population living close to industrial units that use lead for manufacturing their products are likely to have higher blood lead levels.
