Lead poisoning is often called a “silent” danger because the symptoms can look like everyday problems or common illnesses. People may feel tired, irritable, have headaches, or stomach pain without realizing lead could be the cause.

You also can’t see, smell, or taste lead in water, food, or old paint. The only reliable way to know if someone has been exposed is through a blood lead test.

Many people don’t realize that there is no safe level of lead exposure. Even very small amounts can permanently harm the brain and nervous system, especially in children. Because symptoms are often mild or delayed, lead can build up in the body over time—especially in the bones—without a person knowing.

It’s Weatherization Wednesday during National Community Action Month, and HACAP is spotlighting a program that’s quietly cutting utility bills and strengthening homes across Eastern Iowa. This past year, our team has worked to weatherize 86 local homes by providing services such as wall and attic insulation, ventilation, and lead-based paint assessments, and sealing. Our team works year-round to reduce personal utility costs by improving the housing stock of our neighbors.
