possible exposure to lead paint poisoning?

My in-laws are remodeling your basement bathroom. They are grinding the paint off the walls, your home was built in 1962. This is grinding to the many layers of concrete and the past of painting. Have respirators, but my husband the dog and I do not, we are living in the basement (because of my studies) and is not paint dust everywhere here, when I breathe I feel the paint dust getting in my mouth! My husband, my dog, and I'm not sure. We had chronich headache, tiredness, difficulty breathing, and lethargy. Could've been exposed lead in paint? How much exposure causes symptoms of lead poisoning?

Hello, lead tends to accumulate in our bodies, so any exposure should be limited - especially for children who are still in development. Lead, like other heavy metals, is a neurotoxin, which which means that adversely affects the nervous system and causes anemia. So the symptoms you describe including headaches and fatigue can be attributed lead, and the inhalation of the powder and solvent residues or other chemical residue released during the extraction process. Lead is commonly used as a pigment in paints, most commonly as white and yellow, so try to avoid these. In addition, lead paint was banned from housing use in the U.S. only after 1978, so it is a real possibility that the paint they may contain lead. The best thing to do would be to test for lead in the dust, paint chips or scratched surface. The link I posted in Origen describes a simple recipe of detection of lead that can do at home. I would recommend limiting your exposure to dust (with or without lead) as much as possible and repetative that exposure to even small amounts can cause accumulation and lead poisoning.
