OSTI ID:6206514
A bill has been introduced in the Senate of the United States to amend the Toxic Substances Control Act to reduce the levels of lead in the environment. Lead poisoning is the most prevalent disease of environmental origin among children today, and children under 7 years of age are at special risk because of their susceptibility to the potency of lead as a neurologic toxin. It is the policy of the United States that further releases of lead to the environment should be minimized, and means should be developed and implemented to reduce exposures to existing sources of environmentally dispersed lead.
