PRESENTS:
31ST Annual Lead Poisoning Prevention Conference
“Assessing Lead Impacts:
Effects on People and Society”
Friday, November 1, 2024 - 10:00 am-1:15 pm EST
This is a free virtual event for clinicians, public health workers, environmental/housing advocates, and legal professionals.
Presentations:
Lead poisoning can occur at any age. The consequences of lead poisoning that we can observe during childhood, may also persist into late adulthood. Specialists will discuss what we can learn from assessing blood and bone lead levels, present an overview of lead sources and an outline of the mechanisms of toxicity and treatment of childhood lead poisoning. Since adults are also sensitive to lead, the conference will also cover whether current laws are protective, before closing with a discussion of the financial consequences of lead poisoning from the perspective of earnings and costs to society.
Presenters:
Janet Currie, PhD
Howard Hu, MD, MPH, ScD
Michael J. Kosnett, MD, MPH, FACMT
