Is Your Family Safe from Lead?
Think lead doesn't affect you? Check out this stunning statistic: every year, 1 in 50 Multnomah County Kids is poisoned by it. This happens despite the fact that lead poisoning is completely preventable.
That's why my family is heading to LEAD SAFE Portland, an event sponsored by the Lead Safe Families Coalition Sunday, October 28th from 12-2pm at Matt Dishman Community Center (77 NE Knott St.)
Participants will recieve free blood lead testing, lead screening for toys, lead in water kits and lead-safe toys. Resources for landlords and tentants will also be available. To learn more about the event or to request lead poisoning prevention materials call the LeadLine - (503) 988-4000.
