Product Description:
This is a AIR FORCE INST OF TECH WRIGHT-PATTERSON AFB OH report procured by the Pentagon and made available for public release. It has been reproduced in the best form available to the Pentagon. It is not spiral-bound, but rather assembled with Velobinding in a soft, white linen cover. The Storming Media report number is A987823. The abstract provided by the Pentagon follows: Childhood lead poisoning has been referred to as the 'silent epidemic' and characterized as 'the most common environmental disease of young children... eclipsing all other environmental health hazards found in the residential environment. Approximately 8.9 percent of all children in America under the age of six have blood lead levels in excess of toxic levels (10 micrograms/dL). Lead in the bloodstream at low levels has been associated with decreased intelligence, impaired neurobehavioral development, decreased growth, decreased hearing acuity, and reduced weight at birth. Part II of this paper discusses lead poisoning in more depth. The most common cause of elevated blood lead levels in children is lead-based paint. As with many other environmental hazards, lead-based paint falls within the regulatory scope of a number of environmental statutes, including, the Lead-Based Paint Poisoning Prevention Act, the Residential Lead-Based Paint Hazard Reduction Act of 1992, the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA), and state environmental statutes. This paper analyzes the regulation of lead-based paint in Air Force housing.
