Lead exposure is considered hazardous when blood lead levels exceed 5 micrograms per deciliter (µg/dL) in children, as it can cause developmental issues and cognitive impairments. For adults, even lower levels can pose health risks, particularly for pregnant women and those with certain pre-existing conditions. Occupational safety guidelines typically recommend minimizing lead exposure to levels below 30 µg/dL for workers. However, no safe threshold for lead exposure has been established, making any amount potentially harmful.
