Which of the following is a common source of lead exposure for children?

The choice highlighting household items, plants, water, dust, soil, and toys as common sources of lead exposure for children is particularly accurate due to the pervasive nature of lead contamination in these areas.

Lead can frequently be found in older homes, where it may be present in lead-based paint and dust created from deteriorating paint. Children's access to this dust, which can be tracked throughout the home or settle on surfaces, increases their risk of exposure.

Additionally, soil can be contaminated with lead from past industrial activities or from leaded gasoline, particularly in urban areas. Children often play in environments where they come into contact with this soil, bringing the lead back into their homes on their hands and clothing.

Household plants may also absorb lead from contaminated soil or water, contributing to potential exposure if children come into contact with these plants. Toys, particularly older or imported ones, may contain lead in their materials, posing additional risk when children put toys in their mouths.

In contrast, while electronics and outdoor playgrounds can pose hazards, they are not the primary sources of lead exposure compared to the factors outlined in the correct answer. Electronics may contain small amounts of lead, but they are not a significant source of exposure for children. Similarly, while outdoor
