I did some work with a lead factory in Torreon Mexico back in the 90s. Kids started getting really sick and they started investigating. Besides the other lead contamination in the area (soil and air), they found that the parents were tracking home lead from the smelter and these peoples homes tested almost as high as the factory for contamination. The company did not educate them on the hazards. It was sad. The company ended up buying the surrounding property and compensating the families for the medical issues.
