Taking the Lead

This webinar session aims to address both NZ and Australian audiences dealing with issues relating to residential contamination from historic use of leaded paints; particularly focusing on the options for addressing wider public health protection using collaboration between contaminated land and Public Health professionals. The presentation will touch briefly on consenting, but also focus on options for broader approaches to accomplish long term safety for our communities.  This session will help you to recognise the significance of exposure to soils contaminated by lead based paints and identify appropriate solutions on both an individual and more general level. We will conclude the session with an audience driven question and answer.
