More Book Details

Description of the Book:

On April 25, 1991, a hearing examined the problem of lead poisoning and reviewed the actions taken by the Environmental Protection Agency and other agencies to address the problem. Many of those who gave testimony considered the actions to be inadequate. The detrimental effects of lead on human health, and especially children’s health and development, were discussed. Paint and drinking water were identified as major sources of lead in the environment. On July 26, 1991, the subcommittee met again to hear testimony concerning H.R. 2840, a bill to amend the Public Health Service Act to reduce human exposure to lead in residences, schools for young children, and day care centers. The text of the bill is included in the document. During the course of the two hearings, testimony and prepared statements were received from at least 26 individuals and representatives of institutions and organizations concerned about lead poisoning.
