Lead Exposure Risk for Children in Soda Springs
Why children are most at risk: The CDC states there is no safe level of lead exposure for children. Children under 6 absorb lead more readily than adults, and even low levels can cause developmental delays, learning difficulties, and behavioral problems.
Older stock in Soda Springs represents 60% of the inventory, and citywide monitoring runs at or above the federal action level - making an in-home read a standard household-level step.
