Background
Throughout 2023, EPA will host educational sessions in several communities
that are especially vulnerable to lead exposure, reflecting the Agency’s
commitment to promoting environmental justice in parts of the country
disproportionately impacted by lead, as described in the Agency-wide Lead
Strategy released in November 2022. The initiative also supports the Lead
Strategy’s commitment to using various methods – including the development
of new and improved outreach materials – to reduce lead exposure and educate
communities on the risks of lead exposure.
These lead awareness sessions will supplement EPA’s local lead training and
outreach initiative, which has been implemented in 22 communities across the
U.S. and Puerto Rico in 2021 and 2022. Through this 2021-2022 initiative, EPA
helped 512 contractors obtain lead-safe certification and educated 871
participants nationwide about lead and how to protect themselves, their loved
ones, and their communities from lead exposure.
