Julia Lead The Way Blog ( and on Facebook)

This blog was created to provide the public with information on lead paint/exposure and poisoning; To promote understanding of Massachusetts and general laws pertaining to lead; To provide links to news, educational and informational sites on the dangers of lead and information on wellness~ In 2003 Kim Cole and family were poisoned by 15,000+ micrograms of LEAD dust when the Master state inspector of the CLPPP (childhood lead poisoning PREVENTION program) passed failing swipes at 18 Winthrop Street in Abington ,Ma.-a rented apt. The Board of Health ,landlord, OSHA and CLPPP took weeks to determine that a horrendous error had transpired.Their error could have cost children their lives.Lead can cause mental retardation, seizures and Death.I have Superior case(s) pending. It is my hope to see the PEL ( permissable elevated lead level) lowered from 10 to 5. Lead laws changed in April 2010. Please educate yourselves on the DANGERS found right in some of your own homes. Peace~
