When ingested or inhaled, lead exposure can result in behavioral and learning problems in children under the age of six. Mold produces allergens and irritants that may cause sneezing, runny noses, skin rashes, and asthma attacks.
Bacterial contamination resulting from E.coli and fecal coliform has been connected to a variety of ailments ranging from vomiting and diarrhea to dysentery, typhoid fever and hepatitis A. Polychlorinated biphenyl may contain carcinogens that could lead to breast cancer, uterine cancer, or cervical cancer, as well as a variety of sexual, skeletal, and mental developmental problems.
