Protecting children from the dangers of lead

Howard Weinberger, MD

The dangers of lead paint being ingested by children are well known, but a lesser-known problem stems from lead in the soil. Through various avenues, lead finds its way into the ground, where it poses a danger to young children. Howard Weinberger, MD, emeritus professor of pediatrics at Upstate, talks about how parents can safeguard their children. (The problem is also explored in the New York Times article, "The Toxic Legacy of Lead Paint" by Thomas Beller.)
