"Living with Lead is a wake up call to our nation's policymakers, advocates and parents that this devastating and completely preventable tragedy must be solved once and for all."
- Don Ryan, Executive Director, Alliance to End Childhood Lead Poisoning
Lead poisoning remains the number one environmental hazard for America's children. About two million children suffer from lead's debilitating effects, which are largely caused by ingesting paint found in more than 50 million homes built before 1978.
Living with Lead presents a comprehensive overview of this preventable health hazard. Part One of the program details the parental and medical perspectives. Part Two outlines actions a community can take to fight lead poisoning, including reduction and abatement practices.
