Lead Poisoning discusses one of the most critical and preventable
environmentally induced illnesses. The actual toll lead poisoning
takes on society cannot be measured fully due to the "silent"
nature of health effects, such as subtle intellectual deficits and
neurological damage, caused by chronic low-level exposures. This
book covers every major topic on the subject, including lead
poisoning in children, sources of contamination, state-of-the-art
sampling and analytical measurement methods, the newest studies on
low-cost abatement methods, and much more. This reference is the
most comprehensive presentation of issues currently available under
one cover. The text is divided into three major parts. Part I
provides insights from studies assessing lead exposures from paint,
dust, soil, and lead battery recycling operations. The second part
is a unique collection of strategic federal policy statements from
the U.S. EPA, HUD, and HEW-CDC. It details the National
Implementation Plan as well as a local government's efforts to
provide low-cost effective risk communication and public outreach
to the community. The next part offers seven chapters on analytical
issues in the measurement of lead in blood, paint, dust, and soils.
Part IV, Sampling Methods and Statistical Issues, rounds out the
technical portion of the volume. The relationships among lead
levels in biological and environmental media are investigated and
the interpretive problems discussed. The use of multi-element
analysis of environmental samples as an approach to investigate
sources is described. The book finishes with its most unique
feature-OPPT's Check Our Kids for Lead Program, one organization's
effort to empower its employees to make a personal difference in
confronting the problem of lead poisoning in children. The Program
serves as a model for other government organizations (federal,
state, and local), university and community organizations, and
corporations to educate them and take personal and corporate
responsibility for addressing this important and environmental
health problem.
