Ten days later, Goddard's blood test came back. His blood lead level was
37 micrograms per deciliter. On average, a healthy adult has a blood
lead level of 2 micrograms per deciliter, according to Maddaloni, the
retired EPA toxicologist. While the World Health Organization says no
level of lead exposure is considered safe, the CDC recommends taking
action when blood lead levels are above 5 micrograms per deciliter.

Goddard has to swallow 31 pills a day as part of his chelation
treatment, a chemical process used to rid the body of excess or toxic
metals.
