Description:Presented on Tuesday, February 12, 2019.
Over the past 40 years, exposure to lead has declined in the United States. However, millions are still being exposed in their homes and environment. Lead exposure can seriously harm a child’s health and there is no known safe blood lead level in children. Yet more than 500,000 children in the United States have elevated blood lead levels.
Lead exposure often occurs with no obvious symptoms, and frequently goes unrecognized. Thousands of cities across the nation have significant potential lead hazards. The Flint, MI water crisis which began in 2014 highlighted the problem of lead exposure as a public health, environmental, and economic development issue.
Join us to hear how we can prevent childhood lead exposure by focusing on lead elimination and building federal and private-public partnerships.
