12/31/02 Syracuse Post Standard, article on lead. Article stated that the CDC is proposing dropping lead levels in children from 10 to 5 ug/dl. Studies at Cornell have shown a drop of 5 to 7 IQ points in children with levels of 1-10. In Onondaga county, the article points out, this would mean that 26% of all children tested this year would have lead levels that could damage them for life, and 6.5% of those tested had levels above the current standard of 10 ug/dl.

Calendar

Lead dust can be transferred from clothing to you vehicles. OSHA has the right, if they show up on a job, to swipe your vehicles. It is a good practice to have crews clean vehicles during down time, using HEPA vacs and lcd wipes.
