Lead & Public Health: Dangers for Children

by Erik Millstone

In the 1980s and 1990s scientific evidence has accumulated showing how harmful exposure to lead can be, yet little has been done to protect public health from the dangers posed. Taking the lead out of petrol dealt with only one source of exposure; the most serious hazards arise from old leaded paint in homes, schools, factories, and offices, in drinking water, and from old lead pipes.
