Tip of the Week

Remove Your Shoes Before Entering Your Home

Did you know that removing your shoes before entering your home and leaving them outside your home is recommended for lead poisoning prevention? We can unintentionally track lead dust into our homes from our places of work or from areas outside of our home that may contain lead dust. To help guard against this take-home exposure, remove your shoes before entering your home.
