Lead Education Day is where folks of all stripes across the state—from nurses to contractors to parents of sick kids—meet with lawmakers to discuss the dangers of lead poisoning and what we can do to end it. This year, it’s a two-day affair: May 7 and 8.
For 14 years, the Michigan Alliance for Lead Safe Homes (or MIALSH, as its 200 members call it) has organized Lead Education Day. Before, decades passed with no significant state funding for lead poisoning prevention. Now, millions of dollars have been secured, policies have passed into law, and more kids and more homes are being tested and treated for lead.
