The 5-microgram level was set somewhat arbitrarily as the point at which doctors and public health officials would recommend parents take action to reduce their children's risk, but there is ample evidence to show that levels of 3 or 4 micrograms &mdash; and perhaps even lower &mdash; are associated with learning and attention deficit disorders later in life.
