So the estimates are for
2019 again, the lead

exposure burden estimate
was 1.4 billion in lifetime

economic burdens for children
who were born that year.

Just that cohort,
the 2019 cohort.

1.4 billion.

We think about that
every year we continue

to not do what
needs to be done.

We're losing
money.

Talk about the
financial aspect.

We're losing
money.

It doesn't make
financial sense to not

get the lead out.

I just think
it's a lack of

imagination and it's also
a lack of political will

to do the right thing, the moral
and ethical thing, not only

that but the cost savings thing.

Right, so all indicators
are pointing to the

direction that this is
the right thing to do.

No matter what
you're concerned

about, if you're concerned
about budgets, it's

the right thing to do.

If you're concerned about the
children, it's the right thing

to do.

If you're concerned about
earning potential, it's

the right thing to do.

If you're
concerned about

crime, it's the
right thing to do.

Why? Lead exposures
actually linked to

violent crime.

If you're concerned
about any issue

our community is facing,
getting the lead out is

actually the right thing to do.
