Lead is killing our children

This week we read an article tilted Philly's shame: City ignores thousands of poisoned kids. This article talked about the extremely high levels of lead in the poorer parts of the city of Philadelphia. The children in these rented houses would eat old paint chips that would start to peel off. The lead paint chips had a sweet taste to them which is just like candy for these kids. Exposure to lead can cause anemia, weakness, and kidney and brain damage. This issue can be resolved by the landlords of these rented houses start xing the old paint in houses and we need treating every kid who already has lead poisoning, not just the really sick ones. Yes, we believe this is an environmental justice issues because environmental justice is the involvement of all people and certain kids who have lead poisoning aren’t even getting treated. https://padlet.com/lhoward191/esvw86t2ow1f
