Most adults and children have some type of toxic metals poisoning. Lead is the most common because of the multiple ways of exposure. Exposure to lead occurs from workplaces, schools and public spaces, as well as inside the home.
There are no safe levels of lead exposure. Lead does not discriminate and can impact people or any age, race or income level. In addition, lead can poison your pets, farm animals and wildlife.
Together, we can stop the poisoning in New Orleans.
Here is a map of the lead in the soil.
