Abstract |
The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) wants to ensure schools and child care facilities are safe environments for our nation's children. In response to rising public concern over the health risks posed to young children by lead in the drinking water, EPA is launching a '3Ts--Training, Testing, and Telling' program. This initiative is designed to encourage school officials and child care facility operators to implement a voluntary program that incorporates the following: Training--focuses on alerting school administrators, custodians, utilities and water officials to the risks of lead poisoning and the means of mitigating those risks. Testing--underscores the importance of monitoring lead levels in school and child care facility drinking water to identify and respond to any existing problems. Telling--emphasizes the need to communicate with the public regarding all facets of the issue, from funding and initiating a testing protocol, to reporting results, if needed, and proposing a remediation strategy. |
