Editorial

by Adrian Hill

Well, Spring is here at last! (in LEAD Action News terms, anyway). In this issue there are basically three topics. Firstly, we look at a CSIRO report which suggests that air pollution may be affecting the world’s climate - the climate certainly seems to be misbehaving lately, at least where I live, in Sydney.

Secondly, we look at lead in the home.

We at last present Dr. Chris Winder’s survey of lead in housing in Sydney, with some alarming results, which he submitted last year.

We also have an extensive report from the LEADLINE Project by our very own Robin Mosman which details some of the personal stories of people’s problems with lead. It looks at four areas, all in and around the home: Ceiling Dust, Home Renovators, Parents and Tenants.

Finally we have a couple of articles on lead workers. The next LEAD Action News (volume 4!) will contain more articles on lead workers, an area of increasing importance to the economy.

See you in Volume 4 !
