Combating the Silent Epidemic

This issue is about providing you with information to combat lead poisoning. From nutritional information to finding out how to stay lead safe by paying attention to the different sources of lead contamination and ways that lead can enter the body of you and your family and taking the appropriate action to combat these threats.

It is up to us, every single one of us, to combat lead in our local environment and together we can work towards a lead-safe future. To do this, The LEAD Group aims to arm you with information as well as provide you with the tools to detect and take further action about the lead in your surroundings. If you haven't already, please visit our shop ( http://www.leadsafeworld.com/shop/) and become a member / partner and join our cause for a lead-safe future.

Additionally, we highly recommend that you check out our newest project 'The Blood Lead Challenge (http://www.leadsafeworld.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/Blood-Lead-Challenge.pdf)! You can find more information about the articles in this issue of LEAD Action News in the Editorial.
