Event details
In partnership with the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory and the Institute for Ideas and Imagination, CWP is co-hosting a meeting on child exposure to lead in Paris and New York.
The goal of this workshop is to review progress made in Paris and New York to reduce lead exposure in recent decades and the extent to which continued exposure could and should be reduced further. Studies documenting still higher levels of exposure in other parts of the world where lead-based paint is widely sold or leaded-gasoline was banned only more recently will provide further perspective. The workshop will feature presentations by university-based public health scientists and environmental.
