QUESTION:
What to do after getting blood lead testing done. 23 Feb 2004, Oregon
USA my home we're renting was built in 1930's-1940's I think. I know we have asbestos siding and bad water, but I don't know why every one living in my house ranging in age from 2-23yrs has signs of lead poisoning there are 5 of us, we've lived here for 3 yrs. how can I find out more info. I'm really worried its like we all have cancer or something cause we're always sick and weak and have bowel problems and such. please send info. thanks |

ANSWER: 23 Feb 2004 Dear Brenda The Global Lead Advice and Support Service (GLASS) is a volunteer organisation that is drastically underfunded and understaffed and so while we do try to respond to all of the thousands of emails we get we often have trouble keeping up with them. If you would like Lead- or Lead-related information, you may find what you need on our website - www.lead.org.au or that of the Australian Dust Removalists Association - www.adra.com.au or the following United States websites: Environmental Protection Agency USA (EPAU) - www.epa.gov, The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) - www.cdc.gov, National Institute of Occupational Safety & Health (NIOSH) - www.cdc.gov/niosh/homepage.html, Department of Housing and Urban Development (US HUD) - www.hud.gov Alliance to End Childhood Lead Poisoning - www.aeclp.org Global Lead Net (GLN) - www.globalleadnet.org and/or contact your local Health department as they are far better equipped to handle most queries. If you are dissatisfied with the information provided by these agencies please feel free to email us again. We are sorry for this inconvenience. Alex J., Volunteer, Global Lead Advice and Support Service |
