The good news is that the little kids at Somerset E. that will be exposed to lead dust have rich parents that can afford great medical care.
ReplyDeleteIn MD apartments have to be checked for lead paint, but no one is checking artificial turf fields for lead content. Breathe in kids!
The high level folks making these decisions have to be heavy smokers who go to happy hour every night and are more concerned about their next political move than soberly evaluating the science. They probably think it is a cool thing to have asthma and carry an inhaler and even cooler to acquire lead poisoning and carry around a portable oxygen tank. What do they care. They will take their trumped up pensions and be in Arizona or Florida one day where they have happy hour pensioner discussions every night about their fresh smelling, all natural lawns at the retirement community they live in and forget what they did to others to get there.
