Temple nursing students help get the lead out
| Families who attended the 2008 Children’s Health Lead Fair on Saturday, Oct. 18 at the Health Sciences Center's Student Faculty Center can rest assured that their kids are playing with lead-free toys. That’s good news considering there were 1,400 new cases of lead poisoning among kids in Philadelphia last year. In this photo, a child’s Frisbee and yo-yo are tested during the event, which was presented by Temple University Health Connection, the City of Philadelphia Department of Health and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
