Thank you to those who participated in our draft strategy public comment period. As a result, EPA received feedback from around the country! That public input has greatly improved the final version of the Lead Strategy ⬇️ https://t.co/vt0mnButim — PolitiTweet.org

U.S. EPA @EPA

Why is reducing exposure to lead important? ✔️Lead exposure can cause adverse health effects like decreases in learning, memory, and attention ✔️Early exposures to lead can result in adverse health effects later in life like high blood pressure and heart and kidney disease — PolitiTweet.org

U.S. EPA @EPA

To achieve the lead strategy goals, EPA will: ✅Work locally, especially in communities with #EnvironmentalJustice concerns ✅Work nationally through protective standards, analytical tools and outreach ✅Work with a “whole of EPA” and “whole of government” approach — PolitiTweet.org

U.S. EPA @EPA

The Lead Strategy sets four goals: 1) Reduce exposures to lead sources 2) Identify high lead exposure areas and improve health outcomes 3) Communicate more effectively 4) Support and conduct critical research on reducing lead exposures and related health risks — PolitiTweet.org

U.S. EPA @EPA

Today EPA announced the release of our "Strategy to Reduce Lead Exposures and Disparities in U.S. Communities." This aims to strengthen public health protections, address legacy lead contamination, and promote #EnvironmentalJustice and equity. 🧵 Read more about our goals ⬇️ — PolitiTweet.org

U.S. EPA @EPA

When it comes to protecting people's health, EPA is committed to holding polluters accountable. As part of #NLPPW, we released our 2022 Lead Enforcement Bulletin, highlighting notable civil and criminal cases to protect the public from lead exposure. https://t.co/2pLArTjy9b — PolitiTweet.org
