Each year, Michigan children are poisoned by lead. Thousands more have elevated lead levels in them. Both groups may struggle to learn, develop slowly, suffer organ damage and lose their energy.
Why? Over 70% of Michigan homes were built before 1978, the year lead paint was banned. Some are still contaminated with lead.
Fortunately, a diverse, statewide coalition of advocates are fighting to see solutions to this problem realized with legislation. They are the Michigan Alliance for Lead Safe Homes. MEC environmental health director MEC environmental health director Tina Reynolds is their leader. She founded MIALSH with Dr. Lyke Thompson, Wayne State Center for Urban Studies director.
Join them and MEC President & CEO Conan Smith as they discuss the policies Michigan can implement to keep our homes and families lead-free and how you can help make good change.
The Capitol Connection webinar series is generously sponsored by Steve and Judy Dobson.
