Over 11,500 PA children are poisoned every year, yet these are only the children we know about as only 20% of children are tested. What’s worse is this is an entirely preventable fate. #PALeadFree

Lead exposure often starts in older rental homes. Requiring municipalities to certify older properties as lead-safe is a critical step forward. #PALeadFree

It's important that we take these early measures for every child if we want them to get in the classroom healthy, ready to learn, earn, and compete for a lifetime. #PALeadFree

No child should suffer from lead poisoning—it’s entirely preventable. Our kids deserve better. #PALeadFree

Lead poisoning is preventable, but only if we act. It’s time to invest in removing toxic lead paint from homes across PA. #PALeadFree

Guaranteeing lead testing for every child must be a top priority. #PALeadFree is leading the way to protect kids from toxic exposure.
