[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How have the communications been to families about getting their kids tested and generally keeping them informed about what's going on?[/quote] As someone who lived through the lead water issue a few years back and had an extremely high number in the home with small kids living there full time -- your child should have had a blood test at their physical (mandated by DC law). Even with our elevated number the kids were fine.[/quote] Yeah, tell that to the families in Flint, MI.[/quote] The blood lead test gives an immediate estimate of the level of your recent exposure to lead. This test will tell you how much lead is in your bloodstream, but not what is stored in your soft tissues or bones. The test will not tell you your body burden of lead or the damage, if any, that has occurred.[/quote] That's why we did bone core samples on our kids. Knowing is half the battle.[/quote]
