Lead Wars details how the nature of the epidemic has changed and highlights the dilemmas public health agencies face today in terms of prevention strategies and chronic illness linked to low levels of toxic exposure. The authors use the opinion by Maryland's Court of Appeals--which considered whether researchers at Johns Hopkins University's prestigious Kennedy Krieger Institute (KKI) engaged in unethical research on 108 African-American children--as a springboard to ask fundamental questions about the practice and future of public health. Lead Wars chronicles the obstacles faced by public health workers in the conservative, pro-business, anti-regulatory climate that took off in the Reagan years and that stymied efforts to eliminate lead from the environments and the bodies of American children. 650 0 $a Lead poisoning $z United States $x History. 650 0 $a Lead poisoning in children $z United States. 650 0 $a Lead poisoning in children $x Government policy $x Government policy $z United States. 650 12 $a Lead Poisoning $x history. 650 22 $a Child. 650 22 $a Environmental Exposure. 650 22 $a History, 20th Century. 650 22 $a Politics. 650 22 $a Public Health $x history. 651 2 $a United States. 650 7 $a Blei. $2 gnd 650 7 $a Gesundheitspolitik. $2 gnd 650 7 $a Kind. $2 gnd 650 7 $a Umweltbelastung. $2 gnd 650 7 $a Vergiftung. $2 gnd 651 7 $a USA. $2 gnd 700 1 $a Rosner, David, $d 1947- 710 2 $a Milbank Memorial Fund. 830 0 $a California/Milbank books on health and the public ; $v 24. 941 $a 1 952 $l UQAX771 $d 20160716010451.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=992BF7964B1A11E6B59043E5DAD10320 994 $a C0 $b JIDInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
