Lead PaintLead poisoning is a condition, also known as plumbism or painter's colic, caused by increased levels of blood serum lead levels. The average person has less than 10 micrograms per deciliter, or 10 parts per million, ppm, of lead in their blood serum. People who have been exposed to an unusual amount of lead will have lead serum levels higher than 20 ppm - most clinical symptoms of lead poisoning begin at around 100 ppm. The symptoms of lead poisoning include reduced IQ, rashes, irritability, insomnia, excess lethargy or hyperactivity, poor appetite, headache and, in extreme cases, seizure and coma. The attorneys at Sobel, Ross, Fliegel & Suss, have been handling New York City's Personal Injury Lawyers for lead paint cases for more than 40 years.
