Putting Distance Between Kids And Toxics

Wikimedia

The sale of lead-based paint ended nearly four decades ago in America. 

Until that time, there were great concerns--justified--about children eating paint chips and suffering the effects of lead poisoning. 

Concerns remain about other products that could expose children to toxic substances. 

And the Oregon Environmental Council is concerned enough to back a bill in the legislature clamping down on such products. 

An OEC rep joins us to talk about the bill's features and progress in the legislature.
