Lead Poison Awareness

Lead Poison Awareness

By Karlos Reyes

Hello. I am Karlos and I am a Community Health Worker and along with my colleagues we have started this Podcast to inform and educate the public of Western Massachusetts and all of Massachusetts on the issue that is "Lead Poison". Massachusetts Lead Law protects a child's right to a lead safe home. Homes must be deleaded or brought into interim control when the Home was Built before 1978 and contains lead hazards and a child under the age of 6 lives there. We inform the community of this, advocate, assist with deleading and offer lots on information for Parents, Tenants, property owners etc.
