Lead Poisoning Infographic

Posted by Alyssa Straface in Environmental Science · Aziz · E on

Throughout the creation of this project, two things really stood out to me. The first was the alarming amount of high lead in housing areas. I can't believe that I did not know about this issue prior to creating this project; its affects on the city are very alarming. The second thing which stood out to me is the fact that the lead tastes sweet, almost like candy, to the children. I wonder what property in the lead causes this. I would be interested in conducting further research to figure that out. Overall, I just hope that this issue will be resolved soon before more families are affected.
