“High blood levels of lead cause various adverse effects. Severe lead exposure . . . can cause coma, convulsions, and death. Moderate levels . . . can adversely affect the central nervous system, kidneys, and hematopoietic system. Low levels . . . can lower intelligence and impair neurobehavioral development. . . . The federal government estimates that at least three million children in the United States (approximately seventeen percent) are at risk from lead poisoning. A disproportionately high number of ethnic minority children live in poverty, in dilapidated housing, and are poisoned by lead paint. The government’s neglect of this problem raises the issue of environmental racial inequity.” J. Sehukoske, “The Evolving Paradigm of Laws on Lead-Based Paint: From Code Violation to Environmental Hazard,” 45 S.C.L. Rev. 511, 516-17 (1994).
