Lead poisoning affects nearly every system in the body and can occur with no symptoms, potentially causing it to go undiagnosed. The primary source of lead exposure is the deteriorating lead-based paint in older homes, where young children are particularly vulnerable to exposure because of their tendency to put things in their mouths. In addition to the prevention of exposure, the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) guidelines recommend that public health actions be initiated when lead levels exceed 10 micrograms of lead per deciliter of blood. Determine whether or not the following lead levels would exceed the CDC’s threshold level: (a) 3.0 × 10-4 grams per liter of blood, (b) 2.0 × 10-5 milligrams per milliliter of blood, (c) 6.5 × 10-8 grams per cubic centimeter.
