Lead levels in children take center stage

Although the Chinese-made toy recall is pretty much a second-tier issue in the media at that day, kids that have a lower exposure to the lead amount deemed safe by the U.S. government may still have lower IQs and other problems, according to a new report from the CDC in Atlanta.

The standard for lead poisoning exposure is not a new one, and it confounds me on why newer times don’t dictate newer exposure guidelines for assured substances based on new rounds of evidence and research.

As more toys are “consumed” by parents for their kids, they’ll still be made, by and large, in China.

Are lead concerns going to vanish tomorrow? No — and the questions and concerns should escalate from parents. possibly change will happen.
