Toxic City Infographic

The last article that we read was trying to inform us of how Philadelphia is completing ignoring kids who've been affected by lead poisoning. Yet, from what I read there wasn't really much to imply that Philadelphia wasn't taking the situations seriously. Rather, it seemed like they were doing their best by addressing the issue and calling out businesses and landlords who selling properties containing lead. However, in the next article, we picked out I was quite surprised at the lack of care that Philadelphia's own lead health programs had for a family that was suffering due to irresponsible house construction. They seemed to take little interest in helping the family in ways as small as just removing lead from the house and instead chose to practically ignore them until it was already too late. This really just makes me wonder why now was Philadelphia ignoring situations of lead poisoning and how many other families could've been negatively affected due to their negligence Infographic Link https://create.piktochart.com/output/42378061-untitled-infographic
