There is snow on the ground and it's cold outside. Both of these realities will go away one day, after all, it is Iowa!  But the reality of lead in thousands of homes in Iowa will not just go away and could be a danger to many children and families. 

Many homes built before 1978 contain lead paint! When lead paint gets old, it can start peeling and become a hazard. Find out more by talking to your state or local health department about testing paint and dust in your home for lead. #NLPPW2020 #leadfreekids
