Kleine Sun, 17 Oct 2010 00:53:58 +0000 http://blog.epa.gov/blog/?p=4710#comment-35366 Although screening children for potential lead poisoning is an extremely important measure in reducing exposure to and increasing awareness for lead poisoning, it is evident that more steps need to be taken to prevent children and adults from exposure to this toxic metal. As lead can be found in everyday household items, such as pottery, toys, jewelry, remedies, and old paint, it is crucial for the industries in charge of producing and distributing these items to be held at a higher standard for such products. Manufacturers must be more stringently regulated to ensure that human health and the environment are being adequately protected.

Lead is an element that cannot be broken down within the environment and can be found in our air, soil, food, drinking water and notably, in certain household products. Therefore, it is necessary to take measures to reduce the release of lead into the environment at the source of the problem: industry. Furthermore, lead concentrations have the potential to travel great distances through natural systems of the environment, such as the water cycle, and causes lead exposure to be a problem of global concern. By restricting American industry from putting lead into the environment, we can ensure that America is doing our part in protecting its children and future generations from the devastating effects of lead exposure.

That’s a serious issue. Children really need to take care of these. When I was reading initially I did not make myself understand but got clear after that.

Several babies and children in my country need milk, foods and also supplements because their parents were poor. Many doctors just reach the kids in the city and suburbs, not to the villages. Babies don’t choose to stay in the city where their parents didn’t stay there. Do you see our babies drink porridge of rice that their mom imagine it is milk ?
