Posted on The Environmental Protection Agencies Open Ideas website

I would like to see that towns school departments have lead paint abatement and/or lead certificates available online so that parents can be assured that schools are safe and lead free. My children and I have been exposed to 15,000+ micrograms of airborne lead dust. The CLPPP(Childhood lead poisoning prevention program) assured me we were safe. They were wrong and we got quite sick.Many state agencies dropped the ball and my ability to take anyones word is non existent when it comes to the topic of lead. I cant get this documentation from my childrens schools and I have made numerous inquiries to principles, school superintedent, and the business office for the schools. While were at it-lets work to lower the PEL(permissable elevated lead level) in Massachusetts kids from 10 millilters per deciliter to 5! A child is a terrible thing to waste. Thank you for your consideration and for this open forum.

  1. Dear anyone at Facebook that cares~I am awaiting word on the status of my PAGE entitled Julia lead the way (PAGE). I have been new to FB (in the last year) and am not very good on the PC and am not sure of the best way to get a response. Many of the over 1,000 friends are looking for the Lead awareness page that I started in April 2010 and recieved an immediate GREAT response to. The friends were added via multiple "suggestions" and I am confused as to why FB allows for suggestions if they are going to disable you for confirming them?! The page had a great deal of pertinent and quality HONEST information and the other pages I see that remain make me question the validity of our page being disabled.. Theres an awful lot of trash , porn, violence and predudice that is allowed!! You should change the rules if you are going to HURT people by removing their hard work and efforts to help -by doing things like this. I am hopeful that if this matter is reconsidered we can get our page back up. If not Please tell me where I can obtain a copy of its contents IN ITS ENTIRETY. I am going to have a Superior Court case regarding our Lead poisoning experience and will state to the court that the best that has come out of this nightmare was the positive feedback and friendship that I gained fro the friends I "met" on this page. So for that I say thanks! ~ Kim Cole

    Chinese eye shadow has been found to be tainted with both lead and microbiological contamination

    WASHINGTON – In the wake of scandals involving tainted food and toothpaste from China comes word of a new concern from the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission as well as the Food and Drug Administration – toys, makeup, glazed pottery and other products that contain significant amounts of lead.

    While lead poisoning among children was once mainly caused by old paint, U.S. manufacturers long ago banned the ingredient. Today, a new rash of high lead levels in the bloodstreams of American kids is being caused by foreign products – mainly from China

  5. Do you need to be careful with the Chinese view and how she sees human disasters with heavy metals. Its history in environmental science is not good. Surtei when I saw the numbers of deaths due to heavy metals in China, the values ​​are high. It shows that they is not careful with this material and this area. To relieve just remember the accident in 2008 with them in the north of the country with cadmium (a metal a little heavier than lead and heavier than mercury) the death rate was much higher than the thousands of intoxicated humans.
