It affects nerves and blood formation, and it does so at levels well below the ones that cause obvious symptoms.
Expert bodies have lowered what counts as concerning several times, and no level is considered safe -- so read the number itself rather than whether it sits under the printed range. Blood lead reflects recent exposure; most of the body burden is stored in bone and is not measured here.
Worth discussing any detectable value, and worth naming the likely source.
