Any surface with peeling paint should be washed with a damp sponge.Ceramic pots,if fired improperly,could contain lead.Food should not be prepared or stored in them. Azarcon,a traditional medicine used to treat a coliclike illness,may contain large amounts of lead.Sanding the windowsills will cause the lead to be dispersed in the air,leading to lead poisoning.
