How does lead exposure lead to mental health problems in children and why is it hard to remove from the bloodstream?

I was reading an article about lead poisoning in children and it has me wondering how lead exposure damages your brain. From a quick search it seems like it can cause obsessive compulsive tendencies, and sensory problems. Do we have an answer as to why this happens?

Added note: lead poisoning is likely what caused Beethoven to go deaf. It was probably an ingredient in the ink he composed with.
