Lead paint poisoning has become a major health issue today; it is the number one environmental threat to children. Some 50 million homes are contaminated & one child out of nine is at risk of being harmed by this silent poison. In addition to the health risks, the public should also be aware of the potential for overpricing & poor quality in the lead paint industry. The public needs an authoritative resource to turn to. THE LEAD PAINT PRIMER is geared to answer the major questions of the average person. Written by two experts, it is an easy-to-understand guide identifying & remedying the problem of lead paint exposure. This book was created with the intent to clearly lay out the facts behind the problem & the steps to take if it affects you or your family. "The authors have a commendable style of presentation...that thoroughly embraces the subject in a refreshing combination of lay & technical language meant to reach the widest audience...the authors are to be complimented for its thoroughness & practical approach...it gives needed insight." --Samuel Meites, Clinical Chemistry Review, Vol. 37, No. 11, 1991.

Lead Poisoning discusses one of the most critical and preventable environmentally induced illnesses. The actual toll lead poisoning takes on society cannot be measured fully due to the "silent" nature of health effects, such as subtle intellectual deficits and neurological damage, caused by chronic low-level exposures. This book covers every major topic on the subject, including lead poisoning in children, sources of contamination, state-of-the-art sampling and analytical measurement methods, the newest studies on low-cost abatement methods, and much more. This reference is the most comprehensive presentation of issues currently available under one cover. The text is divided into three major parts. Part I provides insights from studies assessing lead exposures from paint, dust, soil, and lead battery recycling operations. The second part is a unique collection of strategic federal policy statements from the U.S. EPA, HUD, and HEW-CDC. It details the National Implementation Plan as well as a local government's efforts to provide low-cost effective risk communication and public outreach to the community. The next part offers seven chapters on analytical issues in the measurement of lead in blood, paint, dust, and soils. Part IV, Sampling Methods and Statistical Issues, rounds out the technical portion of the volume. The relationships among lead levels in biological and environmental media are investigated and the interpretive problems discussed. The use of multi-element analysis of environmental samples as an approach to investigate sources is described. The book finishes with its most unique feature-OPPT's Check Our Kids for Lead Program, one organization's effort to empower its employees to make a personal difference in confronting the problem of lead poisoning in children. The Program serves as a model for other government organizations (federal, state, and local), university and community organizations, and corporations to educate them and take personal and corporate responsibility for addressing this important and environmental health problem.
