Last weekend, we attended the National Association of Realtors' NXT expo in Houston. We had a great time talking about healthy homes with real estate pros from all over the US, and their response to us was very encouraging. We even met Michael Liebner, who received NAR's Evergreen award. He's a fan!

Seven years ago, we met Caitlin Szontagh and her boys, who were exposed to toxic lead. She's written an update to her original blog, "When 'Special' Equals 'Sick,'" to describe some of the challenges of living with a victim of lead poisoning. bit.ly/Blog_2510C #NLPPW2025 #ILPPW2025 #PublicHealth

Besides paint, lead poisoning can come from old water service lines, contaminated soil (from exterior paint or vehicle exhaust fumes), antique or imported toys, cookware, baby food, ammunition, costume jewelry, and other products. Learn more: bit.ly/Facts_CLP_En #NLPPW2025 #ILPPW2025 #PublicHealth

The National Safe and Healthy Housing Coalition is requesting signatures for a sign-on letter to Senate and House Appropriations committee members to support funding for vital healthy homes programs at CDC, EPA, and HUD. Both orgs and individuals may sign. Deadline: 10/24. bit.ly/475Z3yZ #NLPPW2025

The CDC estimates that approximately 500,000 kids in the U.S. have blood lead levels at or above the reference value, and that number stays roughly the same each year. That's why it's important to educate everyone about lead poisoning. #NLPPW2025 #ILPPW2025 #LeadFreeKids #PublicHealth

Lead is a poison, and the damage it causes is permanent. Schedule periodic blood tests to ensure your little one is safe from lead poisoning. Any lead detected in your child's blood is cause for concern. #NLPPW2025 #ILPPW2025 #LeadFreeKids #PublicHealth #HealthyHomes

Toxic lead can be found everywhere: in old paint (pre-1978), drinking water, soil, and many consumer products. NCHH, CEHN & NAFCC created the "Lead-Safe Toolkit for Home-Based Child Care" a few years back, but the info is useful anywhere. bit.ly/Lead-SafeToo... #NLPPW2025 #ILPPW2025 #PublicHealth

In homes built before 1978, remediating damaged paint is not a chore you add to the bottom of your to-do list. It's also not something you should fix yourself. Hire an EPA-licensed contractor who will do the work safely. Learn more: bit.ly/Blog_2102C #NLPPW2025 #LeadFreeKids #ILPPW2025 #PublicHealth
