Promote health-planning operations to limit lead exposure at home.
Provide preventative services to at-risk communities affected by lead exposure.
Explanation:
In humans, lead poisoning can lead to many health problems, and in many cases these problems appear late in exposure, ie after a long period of contact with this metal. Lead toxicity in cells causes oxidative stress caused by imbalance in the production of free radicals and the generation of antioxidants to combat these radicals, in addition to altering ion permeability. The most common clinical effects are: difficulty in memory and learning, coordinative dysfunctions; personality disorders, peripheral motor neuropathies, hypochromic anemia, nephropathy among others.
To lessen cases of lead poisoning, a state health department may adopt guidelines to reduce citizens' exposure to lead and to offer treatments to those who are already intoxicated. Health deportations can:
Promote health-planning operations to limit lead exposure at home.
Provide preventative services to at-risk communities affected by lead exposure.
