EPA New England Webinar About Lead in Connecticut

This interactive webinar from EPA New England helps parents and kids (K-3) in Connecticut learn about lead. The webinar will explain what lead is, where lead is found in Connecticut, and educate parents and kids on how to stay safe from lead. This event engages kids and parents on an important public health issue with interactive poll and a live Question &amp; Answer session led by EPA Region 1 experts. Lead was commonly used in pipes, paint, and gasoline but was banned in 1978 because it is dangerous to children, adults, and pregnant women. Families and children living in older houses or apartments built before 1978 are at the greatest risk of lead poisoning. In 2017, over 1,600 children were lead poisoned in Connecticut. To protect kids and families from harmful health effects of lead, it is important to learn what lead is, the risks associated with lead, and what you can do to protect yourself and your family.
