The Connecticut Trial Lawyers Association, in its brief, points us to the 1990 estimate of the Connecticut department of health services that more than 6000 children in the state have elevated lead levels. “The effects of high lead levels in children include decreased intelligence, slowed development, behavioral disturbances, impaired hearing, kidney ailments, changes in vitamin D Metabolism and disturbance of blood production including anemia. Most of these effects persist long after exposure has ended, perhaps for the lifetime of the affected child. Children who suffer lead related impairment will, throughout their lives, contribute less to themselves and to society.” State of Connecticut, Department of Health Services, Lead Poisoning Fact Sheet (1990).
