<human>: I've been hearing a lot about the dangers of lead in paint. What should I know?
<bot>: Lead is a heavy metal that can be found in many different products, including paint. Lead exposure can cause health problems such as learning disabilities and behavioral issues in children. It's important to keep your home safe by regularly checking for peeling or chipping paint, especially around windows and doors where dust and dirt can accumulate. If you suspect lead-based paint, it is recommended to have it professionally removed by a certified contractor.
