Probably, everyone already knows that lead paint does not contain any positive sides except brightness. Since the distant 1971, lead paint products were regularly used in everyday life during repair work and caused only admiration. But after the health of the children began to gradually deteriorate, the Soviet authorities began to move and intensively resolve urgent issues. What is the reason for such consequences?
The fact is that lead, by itself, is an element quite toxic and, when interacting with a number of chemical elements, releases substances that can increase the brightness of paint products. In addition, thanks to lead and its composition, the paint dries almost instantly on surfaces. Thanks to lead, metal surfaces are resistant to corrosion and other temporary reactions.
Having studied all the properties of lead paint, most states have created a special control with the help of which careful monitoring of the amount of lead elements in the paint takes place. These innovations are built on the basis of many medical and scientific studies, which indicate that lead paints cause great harm to others, especially children. Most at risk are people working in the field of painting and decorating. These include car mechanics, painters, ordinary construction workers and many others.
According to the results of studies, it was found that lead in paint contributes to the following violations:
- Partial and complete damage to the nervous system, as well as some parts of the brain;
- The destruction of the circulatory system, digestive organs, lungs and kidneys;
- The destruction of muscle and bone tissue;
- Huge harm to pregnant girls through changes in the genetic development of the child and increased impairment of intellectual development.
How can lead paint be identified?
The paint products with lead elements are characterized by:
- Increased severity of contents;
- High density and body;
- Enhanced toxicity, perceptible by a specific smell;
- The ability to blacken in contact with sulfur surfaces;
- The ability to dry very quickly.
Given all the above facts, it is worth taking into account that lead paints are not recommended. Products of this category have a harmful effect on the human body and threaten the integrity of health.
