THE CURRENT

environmental problem and 

preventable disease in children. 

Over 3,000,000 U.S. children 

under age seven have hazardous 

levels of lead in their blood — one 

child out of every Six. : 

Low level lead exposures in 

children cause IQ reductions, 

attention span deficits, reading and 

learning disabilities, and behavior 

problems. 

Despite the scope and severity of 

this disease, the vast majority of 

cases are never identified or treated.

COMING?

public health professionals, 

Laboratory and testing experts, 

Representatives from the housing, 

finance, real estate, and insurance 

industries, 

Teachers, environmentalists, 

contractors, trainers, parents, and 

community organizers, and 

Federal, state and local 

government staff. 

WHAT YOU WILL 

LEARN: 

The latest research results on 

neurotoxic effects at low dose, 

When and how to screen — 

what to tell parents, 

How to implement the Centers for 

Disease Control's new guidelines 

and procedures, 

How local programs can begin to 

shift from reaction to primary 

prevention, 

How cleaning up dangerously 

leaded houses can protect children, 

provide jobs in the inner city, and 

revitalize neighborhoods, 

State-of-the-art procedures for 

lead-based paint testing, 

abatement, worker protection, 

cleanup and disposal, and, 

Presentation of national awards 

and opportunities to highlight local 

success stories.  



    

WHAT YOU CAN 

CONTRIBUTE:

linkages, and success stories,
