Lead Poisoning




The Evansville Early Childhood Coalition is working on a lead poisoning campaign and sent me this clip. It's interesting to watch. In addition to housing problems, the problem exists with paint on expensive toys, trinkets like Nike baubles, and junkie jewelry. Lead poisoning is not a problem that exists for only one facet of the community. It's now across the board. Listen to the video and ask yourself if your child needs to be tested for lead poisoning.

For many kids, lead threat is right in their own homes - USATODAY.com*
