The Baltimore Sun newspaper recently featured a front page article on the continuing lead paint poisoning issues in the city, as well as new efforts by community groups, officials, etc., seeking reparations, restitution, damages, etc., from major lead paint manufacturers whose lead-based paint was sold and used in Baltimore housing prior to being banned by Baltimore in 1951 and 1966, as well as by the Federal government  in 1978 [ " SEEKING PAYBACK", by Luke Broadwater, Sunday Edition, February 28, 2016 ].


The article is worth the read, particularly since it indicates what some of us have been saying for years: that the lead poisoning problem is larger than just  slumlords, negligent renters, and lazy government officials. At its lead paint source, a huge problem comes from big-money making paint manufacturers who aggressively sold toxic lead-based paint long after they knew or should have known of the harmful effects of the product when inhaled or ingested by humans; and in particular, by children under the age of six.
