The article discusses the ongoing public health battle over lead exposure in the U.S. Despite decades of warnings by health experts regarding the risks of lead in blood, the Trump administration has indicated intentions to repeal recently established health measures aimed at reducing exposure. In contrast, the Biden-Harris administration has introduced a rule mandating the replacement of lead pipes by 2034, a move seen as vital for protecting vulnerable populations, particularly children who face serious health risks from lead exposure, which can lead to long-term development issues.
For decades, scientists and medical workers have warned that even low levels of lead in human blood can have a deleterious impact on health.
If the Trump administration is successful, millions of people will continue to be exposed to lead and other damaging neurotoxins.
