Are you kidding me!?! This invalidates the notion of residential lead issues, just move away. Is that an official EPA position?
Thanks for taking the time to discuss this, I feel strongly about it and love learning more on this topic. If possible, as you gain expertise, would you mind updating your blog with more information? It is extremely helpful for me.
Thank You.
