Join the Legacy Lead Coalition to learn from and honor the work of Dr. Howard Mielke from Tulane University, one of the first researchers to identify lead in soil as a risk to human health.

Come listen to and speak with community members, experts, and stakeholders from:

• Brooklyn College
• Columbia University
• Cornell University
• The Mayor's Office of Environmental Remediation
• Neighbors Allied for Good Growth (NAG)
• The NYC Compost Project
• The NYC Parks Department
• and many more

*Free soil testing will be provided. Bring a sample in a ziplock bag!

Legacy Lead is a coalition of concerned residents, city employees, scientists, advocates, and greening organizations collaborating to reduce the potential harm we face from lead in soil.

This event is hosted by Brooklyn College (the Center for the Study of Brooklyn and the Urban Soils Lab).
