Titled “Lead and Public Health: Risk Reducing Lifestyle Choices“, the paper was written for the Ontario Public Health Association’s 28th annual meeting and concluded that lead is a serious issue of environmental and public health. It stated that the level of environmental lead contamination and average blood-lead levels in Canadian children required both swift regulatory action and greater awareness in the general population of who is at risk, how and where they are exposed, and practical information about how exposure can be avoided.
