A Centers for Disease Control advisory committee concluded in 2012 that there is no known level of lead in kids' blood that isn't harmful. The CDC now states that blood lead levels once considered very low can cause irreversible damage. And a child suffering from lead poisoning may not show immediate outward symptoms, even after exposure to levels that have been shown to later reduce IQ and alter behavior.
