Home 9 Child Safety 9 Kids Unleaded: Your Link to New Information about the Hazards of Lead Poisoning ( Page 7 )

The Children’s Health Alliance has launched a new e-newsletter, called Kids Unleaded. The newsletter will cover issues related to lead poisoning elimination, the long-term negative effects of lead exposure, and opportunities to link with others working on this critical issue. The negative impacts on brain development, school performance, behavioral and mental health issues, and overall health are all well-researched; if you are interested already in this issue, this e-newsletter is a good way to stay connected. If you are not already aware of some of these issues, it’s a good way to get started.

Join us to build a Wisconsin where
every child and family thrives.
