Wisconsin Lead Poisoning Prevention Week

Sorry about the late notice, but I just found out that it's currently Wisconsin Lead Poisoning Prevent Week, Oct 25-31. The Department of Health Services has some helpful information and resources for people concerned about lead in their homes.

For a look at what areas are impacted, there are maps of communities in Wisconsin impacted by lead, including Waukesha and Waukesha County.

If only there was some kind of-I don't know, a trust fund?-to help fund lead removal efforts. Oh, wait, one has been proposed for Waukesha County!

Trust fund or no, if the building was built before 1950, you should get your home/property tested.
