Toxic City

In the group, we chose to focus on Wynnefield. Reading other people's stories about their lead experiences stood out to me because I never knew until now that people actually get lead poisoning. You could also get lead poisoning from anything but I never knew that it had so many effects on people. You could get just by breathing the air in the house that you live in. Even if it's not in your house you could bring it in just by walking in soil that contains lead. It was hard to find percentages and stats on Wynnefield so we added in the story and added stats of Philadelphia. Lead issue is something that we should focus on more because doing research, I discovered that the city usually only steps in after it is oo late. I think that since we have had kids and pregnant women get sick off of the lead, it is something we should figure out how to fix here. There are children everywhere in Philly and they are affected the most and they get the most issues from the lead problem.
