Community Lead Awareness Sessions

Lead exposure for children can lead to lower IQ, slowed or stunted growth, and hearing problems or other long-lasting health effects. The United States’ Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is partnering with communities across the country to host a series of free educational sessions on the dangers of lead and how to reduce and prevent lead exposure. Upcoming awareness sessions will provide:
• Important information about lead exposure and its impacts on health;
• Specific actions to protect children and communities from lead exposure;
• Practical resources in English and Spanish; and
• Opportunity to network with other community leaders and members with shared interests.
