FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda 
Lead poisoning is a serious problem all across the US as abandoned smelter factories are left to rot. These dilapidated buildings are crumbling to the ground.
In places like Cleveland, Ohio, there are abandoned lead factories that once were responsible for heavily contaminating the areas around them with toxic lead dust.
State regulators, along with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) failed to divulge this information to those families who live in these areas. Soil tests throughout these neighborhoods reveal high levels of lead contamination.
As the EPA asserts they have made efforts to cleanup, their record-keeping about these projects in inconclusive.
William Eckel , environmental scientist, published an article in the American Journal of Public Health warning of this issue and admonishing state and federal regulatory bodies that have ignored the problem to the public’s detriment.
The EPA is claiming that “particularly large cities . . . with historically high gasoline emissions from vehicles, aero deposition from industrial facilities and lead paint” are the combinations that led to the overall contamination. Cleanups are projected to be difficult.
In 2002 – 2003, the Ohio EPA tested 12 soil samples. All but one revealed unacceptable levels of lead toxicity. These samples were taken from neighborhoods where children play. The levels were as high as 5 times the acceptable limits.
The Ohio EPA stated that without a specific “polluter” to blame, they could not afford to clean up the site because it is the polluter that pays for the cleanup. The Ohio EPA stated, “There are no Ohio EPA monies set aside and dedicated for this type of cleanup. Our enforcement program focuses on responsible parties with the authority to legally compel them to fund cleanup.”
Meanwhile children are exposed to lead poisoning in their own backyards and no state or federal official cares enough to clean up the contamination for the sake of these children.
Now the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has released information that reveals the number of children who have lead poisoning has doubled; meaning 1 out of 40 children have dangerously high levels of lead in their blood.
Bruce Lamphear, a researcher of poison prevention from Simon Fraser University in Vancouver who was part of the CDC during the Clinton era, said that the CDC’s announcement should have come earlier. “It is quite delayed. I expected that this would happen about five years ago. A number of studies now over the past decade have shown that there is no safe level of lead, that at the lowest measurable levels, we still see decrements in children’s learning abilities.”
During the better half of the early 20th century, lead was common place in gasoline and paint. Lead-based airplane fuel is the largest emission threat to the environment.
Lead poisoning, also called a “stealth disease” centers its devastation on the brain and causes neurological damage in children . There are no outward signs of elevated levels of lead in the body.
Dr. John Rosen, a pediatrician responsible for treating lead poisoned children at Montefiore Medical Center in the Bronx, states: “Lead at remarkably low concentrations has the unique capability of robbing kids of such skills as reading, writing, concentration and abstract thinking. The set of things that are required for academic success and employment success can be lost forever, and all of that comes at a remarkable societal cost.”
Studies have shown that lead levels at or above 10 micrograms per deciliter have enormous adverse effects. Other studies have shown that less than 10 micrograms can also cause irrevocable damage to the brain.
Symptoms of lead poisoning can include:
• Decreased intelligence
• Short-term memory loss
• Reading under-acheivement
• Impairment f visual-motor function
• Loss of auditory memory
• Poor perceptual integration
• Poor classroom behavior
• Impaired reaction time
The federal government has recently cut funding for lead poisoning prevention by 90%.
