Lead 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 100 parts per billion, ppb, of lead in their blood serum. People who have been exposed to an unusual amount of lead will have lead serum levels higher than 200 ppb—most clinical symptoms of lead poisoning begin at around 100 ppb. ...
