What does a blood lead level of 10-14ug/dL suggest?

Child is lead-poisoned
No significant health risks
Some exposure to lead
Emergency response needed

The correct answer is: Some exposure to lead

A blood lead level of 10-14 µg/dL is indicative of some exposure to lead. This range signals that lead is present in the blood at a level that is not considered safe and may warrant further investigation to determine the source of exposure and potential health implications. While the levels are not extreme, they are above the threshold that typically raises concern, suggesting that the child has been exposed to lead, which can have cumulative effects and may impact health over time. It’s essential to monitor and address these lead levels promptly to prevent further exposure, as they can affect development and overall health. Understanding this threshold of exposure is critical for lead inspectors and assessors because it guides actions towards mitigation and prevention of lead-related health issues.
