Abstract
Environmental pollution with heavy metals, in particular lead, and related problems are discussed in the article. Theyhas been investigatedthe scale of the problemcaused by lead is being investigated andrelated to it potential measures are discussed. Lead is one of the strong toxic substances that affects human health, it is especially dangerous for children. The risks of exposure to lead on the environment, human and children's health have been studied, both in the whole world and in Georgia. The use of lead-containing products in everyday life, such as construction, electronics, fuel, paints, toys, air pollution with exhaust,and others is discussed. It is noted that lead can cause significant negative economic and social impacts at the population level. Is scheduled possible measures to reduce environmental pollution withlead.
