New Lead Law Going
Into Effect on April 22:
State Holding Meetings
Common activities like
sanding, cutting and
demolition can create lead
hazards that can be harmful
to children and adults. In
2008, more than 5,000 Illinois
children had elevated blood
levels. This new federal law
has the potential to
significantly decrease
childhood lead poisoning.
