What To Do
Professor of pediatrics and public health at Boston University and direction of the Boston Lead Poisoning Prevention Program Dr. Sean Palfrey said: “I would be saying to parents, ‘Don’t panic, these are the three or four things you should do.” This includes residents washing their children’s hands very carefully to avoid them inserting any dust into their mouths.
Diet Rich In Iron
Dr. Palfrey also suggest people in the area to consume and feed their children a diet rich in iron and calcium which can help displace lead that has entered the body and helps it be less likely to be absorbed into the system.
