Lead Poisoning Prevention with Josie Watson

Learn how to protect your family from Lead Poisoning. According to the Environmental Protection Agency, "Lead-based paint is still present in millions of homes, normally under layers of newer paint...Deteriorating lead-based paint (peeling, chipping, chalking, cracking, damaged, or damp) is a hazard and needs immediate attention." Young children are particularly susceptible to lead poisoning, and scientists are still uncovering the long lasting effects of lead poisoning in children. In this workshop, an EPA-Certified Lead Risk Assessor Josie Watson will walk us through the steps needed to protect your family and small children from lead poisoning while renovating your older home.
