These are great to share with your friends! My personal favorite top 10 articles on the Lead Safe Mama website

For those new to this website:

Tamara Rubin is a multiple-federal-award-winning independent advocate for childhood Lead poisoning prevention and consumer goods safety, and a documentary filmmaker. She is also a mother of Lead-poisoned children (two of her sons were acutely Lead-poisoned in 2005). Since 2009, Tamara has been using XRF technology (a scientific method used by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission) to test consumer goods for toxicants (specifically heavy metals — including Lead, Cadmium, Mercury, Antimony, and Arsenic). All test results reported on this website are science-based, accurate, and replicable. Items are tested multiple times to confirm the test results for each component tested. Tamara’s work was featured in Consumer Reports Magazine in February of 2023 (March 2023 print edition).

The 10 pieces linked below are my favorite articles here on the Lead Safe Mama site at the moment. I like these articles because they have had the biggest impact in informing others about the concern for childhood Lead poisoning.

If you are new here, reading all of these would be a great introduction to the work. If you have been here a bit and want to know which pieces would be best to share with your community (articles that are most likely to spark the most engagement, interest, and inquiries so more people end up testing and protecting their kids) this is the best list to share. But PLEASE share each link individually so your friends can see the image related to the link, which will engage them in reading the whole article!

Thank you for being here. Thank you for helping to spread the word about this important and pervasive issue.
