Description

Lead poisoning is one of the most significant environmental health hazards affecting children in the United States. It is especially critical to address lead safety in areas with older housing stock, such as Vermont and Burlington. In an effort to inform and engage community children (ages 7-8) and their families, the Burlington Lead Program (BLP) has partnered with the Boys and Girls Club of Burlington to educate kids about lead and lead poisoning. Education activities concluded with the children participating in an art contest that coincides with National Lead Poisoning Prevention month. About the Burlington Lead Program: The Community and Economic Development Office’s (CEDO) Burlington Lead Program is “dedicated to the prevention of childhood lead poisoning by reducing lead paint hazards and increasing awareness about the dangers posed by lead.” Find out more at: www.cedoburlington.org/housing/programs_and_services/lead_paint/lead_program_main.htm.
