SUMMARY:OPA Live! Lead Poisoning Prevention and Best Practices for Communities
DESCRIPTION:Host Hanna Beightley takes over the OPA Instagram account for a live conversation with guest Amanda Reddy. \nLead Poisoning Prevention and Best Practices for Communities\nDuring this session\, Women for a Healthy Environment and National Center for Healthy Housing will be discussing lead poisoning as a public health issue\, primary prevention policies and best practices that cities and municipalities can implement\, and resources that are available for families and communities. Lead is a neurotoxin that affects nearly every system in the body\, including the brain and nervous system. It is critical to address lead exposure proactively. Hanna and Amanda will spend time looking at this issue specifically in Allegheny County and understanding what other cities have done to be proactive. \nAbout Hanna Beightley\nMPH\, CHES; Healthy Homes Coordinator\, Women for a Healthy Environment \nHanna Beightley graduated from the University of Pittsburgh with a Master’s in Public Health in Behavioral and Community Health Sciences in 2019.
