Leadlight windows

Leadlight windows, our worst unrecognised lead poisoning hazard.
They contaminate everything under them with fine, invisible highly leaded dust that can easily get into children. As risky as chipping lead paint in a home.

Windows like these are one way my son was poisoned by lead. I didn’t know at the time but have since learned that pure lead (like in the cames of leadlight and stained glass windows) create extreme amounts of lead dust. No movement or touching is required. It just rains down onto windowsills, curtains, carpets, whatever is within a metre of them. I’ve seen people with these above salt and pepper in a kitchen window, candles and nicknacks, or the absolute worst- kids toys and books. Anything under them will be absolutely covered in lead. Kids who touch these items and put their hands in their mouths could be exposed to significant amounts of lead. Babies who crawl on carpets under these windows (like my son) can be exposed to too much lead. They are a massive hazard that the authorities don’t recognise as a source of lead poisoning, but are as important as lead paint as a danger to small children. Please share this message.
