A public lecture titled “Lead Poisoning: An Invisible Threat to Our Children,” will be held Wednesday, Oct. 24, at 7:30 p.m. in the UH Samaritan Community Room at 663 E. Main St. in Ashland. The lecture will feature Dr. Ted Lidsky and Dr. Ralph Spezio -- two nationally recognized experts on the problems associated with lead poisoning and how it can be prevented.
Lead poisoning remains an issue in both Ashland and Richland Counties due to the presence of lead paint in older housing. The use of lead in paint for consumer use was banned in 1978, but lead paint remains in many older homes, often underneath layers of newer paint.
