Excellent resource for parents!

"Getting the Lead Out" is an invaluable resource for parents with children who suffer from lead poisoning. It discusses sources of lead exposure, methods for preventing lead poisoning, and evaluation and treatment of lead poisoning. Critically, the book also provides parents with advice on how to cope with lead poisoning and how to protect their families. The text is clear, thorough, and not overly technical.I work in the area of lead toxicity and found this book to be highly accurate and informative. I would recommend this book wholeheartedly to any friend or colleague who has a loved one with lead poisoning or who wants to learn more about the subject.
