Toxic City Infographic

Our group read about a school called Watson Comly that is located in Northeast Philadelphia. This school has had at least 38 reports about the high levels of lead in the school which is a big problem. Lead poisoning can affect anyone but it mostly affects children, it can slow down their learning skills. A kid named Dean Pagan that went to Watson was found with high blood-lead levels which caused permanent brain damage. To think that this is happening alot in Philadelphia is scary because we could be affected too. I live in Germantown and there are so many lead reports here because of how old the houses are. This is something that needs to be addressed more so the problem could be fixed. Why is this not something we address more and fixed?
