Bristol, VT – Lead was once used in paint and gasoline. Exposure by children can lead to learning and behavioral problems. While lead paint was banned in 1978, lead exposure is still a risk in homes built before that. Vermont Governor James Douglas and health officials this week are praising an effort to educate Vermonters about the dangers of childhood lead poisoning.
