The Effects of Lead Poisoning on African-American and Low-Income Families in Toledo, Ohio
The Toledo Lead Poisoning Prevention Coalition is a community group organized around the principle that community residents are effective agents of change when they are provided with information and resources. Information about primary prevention is the most effective means to maintain a long-term lead safe community. Leadership, commitment and resources are required to establish lead safe environments for our children and families.
Based on these principles the Toledo Lead Poisoning Prevention Coalition is committed to advocating for local policies and laws that will truly protect children and their families from environmental health hazards by identifying hazards and taking corrective and preventive action before harm occurs. This report was prepared to support the Coalition's goal of eliminating the lead poisoning of children in Toledo.
