Lead poisoning is one of the most common and preventable pediatric
health problems in the United States. The prohibition of lead in
paint in 1978, followed by the phasing out of lead in gasoline,
have done a great deal to lower the average level of lead in
children's blood in the last twenty-five years, but the threat to
public health of this insidious poison is far from being
eradicated. Every child is at risk.Getting the Lead Out explains
the nature and sources of lead poisoning and discusses the basic
measures for minimizing the associated risks and damage. It also
explains the physical and emotional effects of lead poisoning,
including problems with language-acquisition and other learning
disabilities, reduced IQ, renal failure, and antisocial and violent
behavior. This book gives readers the information they will need to
identify symptoms of poisoning in their children as well as lists
of resources addressing each special need that may emerge due to
exposure. It also includes guidelines for community organizing
around the issue and instructions for suing for personal injury.
