"Important. Urgent. Practical. Very, very, useful". -- Jonathan
Kozol, author of Amazing Grace
"Lead poisoning is one of the most common and preventable
pediatric health problems today". US Centers for Disease
Control
Between one and a half to two million children under the age of
six -- one out of eleven American preschoolers -- have elevated
levels of lead in their blood, a condition that can cause damage to
their developing brains, resulting in learning disabilities,
behavior problems, and decreased IQs. A severe problem that affects
not only children from our poorest neighborhoods but also those
from many middle- and upper-income families, lead poisoning is most
often caused by the lead-based paint that is present on the walls,
woodwork and facades of 75% of all American homes built before 1989
-- 57 million US homes and apartments.
Getting The Lead Out: The Complete Resource on How to Prevent
and Cope with Lead Poisoning is the first comprehensive,
action-oriented book on this compelling health issue. It defines
and elaborates on the major sources of lead in the home and
environment, medical concerns, prevention strategies, and
techniques for controlling lead hazards, while offering advice to
parents and homeowners on where to turn should their child -- or
home -- be found to have high lead levels.
