A small amount of lead paint dust can cause irreversible brain damage to young children, and can have a devastating lifelong impact, starting with learning disabilities, trouble in school and problems with impulse control that can ultimately lead to real impacts on public safety.

Program Goal There are few resources more precious to us than our fresh water supply. But we all recognize that in some areas, pollution is a real issue.
