PREVENTION is worth it. Prevention is part of the cure. If you feel like you are going crazy- check for lead/pb!! The Healthy Homes Programs across the United States offers FREE lead/pb blood lead/pb level distribution tests in two "major" cities across the United States. In Kansas it is Wichita, Ks and Kansas City, Ks. They- who ever we are- are changing lead/pb laws all the time. I, honestly, had a teacher tell me that 2.5 is considered elevated. The teacher's son had lead poisoning. I believe the TEACHER that 2.5 micrograms per deciliter of blood is considered elevated in EVERYONE's body!!

Kansas Statues Annotated (KSA) 65-1,200 authorizes the Healthy Homes and Lead Hazard Prevention Program - this means that there is a law, numbered above that supports that the Healthy Homes Program even exists.
The Healthy Homes Program through the Secretary of the Kansas Department of Health and Environment has the authority or freedom to:
this is mostly quoted from their website:
1) Develop and maintain an elevated blood level database and medical surveillance program.
2) Track incident of lead poisoning across the state.
3) Administer a certification, licensure, accreditation and enforcement program for people involved with lead based paint activities and abatement projects.
4) Administer a Pre-Renovation Education Program to educate the public and remodeling industry on lead hazards.
5) Promote a public awareness campaign to increase knowledge about childhood lead poisoning prevention strategies.
6) Increase professional education opportunities regarding childhood lead poisoning prevention strategies.
7) Provide equipment support and training to local health departments to conduct blood lead screening activities, environmental assessments and follow-up.
And that is the Healthy Homes Program for Kansas that is funded by cooperative agreements from US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and fees from the certification and licensure of individuals and firms.
The Kansas Healthy Homes website is:

CDC seeks to accomplish its mission by working with partners throughout the nation and the world to 1) monitor health, 2) detect and investigate health problems, 3)conduct research to enhance prevention, 4) develop and advocate sound public health policies, 5) implement prevention strategies, 6) promote healthy behaviors, 7) foster safe and healthful environments, 8) provide leadership and training.
CDC offers information about the dangers of lead/pb and keeps a data base of children known to have lead poisoning. CDC also keeps literature about how to monitor blood lead level cases and more.

The American Lead Poisoning Help Association (ALPHA) is comprised of parents and concerned citizens from all over the country, dedicated to the preventing of childhood lead poisoning. With years of experience and growing, ALPHA is looking to unite parents together to network, share ideas & experiences, and move forward in promoting lead awareness within our communities. ALPHA'S Mission is to raise awareness about lead poisoing, and to provide a national support network for families affected by lead. ALPHA has an e-newsletter you sign-up for or you can join.
Residents can set up an appointment and bring items of concern to the office for testing. Consumer Items in the past that have been known to contain lead include vinyl baby bibs, jewelry and charms, imported candy and makeup, imported spices, wooden and plastic toys, dishware, and pottery. There is usually a limit per week or month on products being tested per family.
One can also check many recall lists, use over the counter lead surface test kits, and can use hand held sonar reader of lead content to screen products. There are also RoHS testing centers.

In contrast, the partnership system supports mutually respectful and caring relations. Because there is no need to maintain rigid rankings of control, there is also no built-in need for abuse and violence. Partnership relations free our innate capacity to feel joy, to play. They enable us to grow mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. This is true for individuals, families, and whole societies. Conflict is an opportunity to learn and to be creative, and power is exercised in ways that empower rather than disempower others.
Lead/pb is NOT an opportunity. Lead/pb is a hazard. Lead/pb is part of the dominance system. Lead/pb has a long term history of being a fatal substance and used as such known since before the Assyrian group of people and their documentation.

Reader's Digest, February, 1985
"Soldering as in electronic manufacturing: Lead is a highly malleable and ductile metal that is often used in manufacturing. Soldering lead as in electronic manufacturing creates an extremely poisonous lead vapor, which is easily inhaled. Any individual involved in lead soldering should always follow safe-work practices to avoid lead poisoning." taken from Kansas Department of Health and Environment Adult Blood Lead Epidemiological Surveillance Occupation Department.
The link from the Kansas Department of Health and Environment is a page about occupational hazards with lead soldering. Welding, plumbing, painting, soldering in electronic manufacturing, automotive radiator repair, ammunition manufacturing(I've seen a lot of all copper bullets lately, too.), demolition work, remodeling and renovation projects, battery manufacturing and recycling.
- Dr. David Servan-Schreiber, Doctors Without Borders
I have read one of Dr. Servan Schreiber's book who is a brain cancer survivor. I found it to be helpful and emotionally uplifting.
My personal opinion is that I need to see the studies of lead/pb related cancer PRONTO. Remember RoHS does not apply to medical devices and/or lead electric cords on medical devices as of 2012. In 2013 the issue is just starting to be addressed.
