Air/lead pollution
By: Jinna Ashley
preventing lead pollution
air monitors measure the lead through the country. they use this to look at lead levels and to protect the environment and public health
we have things that are able to prevent lead pollution. even though people might think that we dont do anything about lead pollution, we actually have monitors that can see if the lead is too high
tracking air quality trends for lead using data from out monitors. lead normally decreases dramatically after the EPAS reduces the lead content in vehicles
this is what we do to try and to prevent air pollution like lead. we even have reduced the amount of lead we use on a gasoline vehicle

Affects health
Affects many parts of your body, heart, blood, organs, eyes, muscles...
this shows how much lead pollution affects your body and that this is a big deal
Lead affects change in community , growth, animals, and the neurological effects the vertebrates
it might seem like this isn't a big deal but it is. Many things are being harmed because of this lead pollution.

environment issue
affects the environment by mining smelting and industrial activities
this shows that it is in a lot of peoples jobs and that this could be a huge problem.

Many children now are increasing the blood lead levels this is much higher than most others.
this shows that their blood lead is increasing due to the environments lead found in gasoline and even paint.

children under 5 years old are exposed to the highest lead near the cities in 1970
this was a big issue back then and we have gotten better about it but still many people are still being harmed with lead pollution

recycle and reuse
lead is under a section 109 of the clean air act. the EPA is developing a new lead standard
people are now realizing what is going on around them and what they should be doing. this shows what a smart advocate should be doing

Negative affect
when cooking it could cause air pollution. many people would think that air pollution is worse out side but then when having a detector then they realize how much pollution is created in there house.
even in our houses there could be pollution and in some countries there are worse conditions.
many kids are experiencing very high levels of air pollution at school. this should not be happening. they are experiencing high levels like black carbon, and at home are the lowest.
kids shouldn't be experiencing high levels of lead/ air pollution. high levels could cause a stroke, or lead to a serious illness.
