Toxic City Infographic

Posted by Janelle Fields in Environmental Science · Aziz · E on

During this Unit we read Toxic City which explained the dangers and misfortunes of lead in homes all around Philadelphia. This is a very overlooked situation that is continuously occurring in various parts of the city. What stood out to me most was seeing zip codes that were so familiar, ones that I encountered everyday including our school. The side effects of lead in children was also very astonishing and sad. Overall, I think awareness should be raised because many people, including myself before I read this article, have no idea how serious these cases are.
