Protecting Children from Lead in Hackett
Why children are most at risk: The CDC states that no safe blood lead level in children has been identified. Children under 6 absorb lead more readily than adults, and even low levels can cause developmental delays, learning difficulties, and behavioral problems.
CDC has identified no safe blood lead level in children, and lead in water can differ from one home to the next; in Hackett, testing the water a child drinks is how to learn the lead level in that water, and a blood test is how to learn the child's level. About 42% of the city's homes date from before 1986.
