Why More Is Required To Address Maine’S Childhood Lead-Poisoning Problem, David Littell

David Littell discusses why childhood lead poisoning is such a problem in Maine and what can be done to remedy the situation, providing a thorough examination of how children are exposed to lead and the magnitude of the problem.
