520			_a"Lead-contaminated soil is widespread throughout metro Detroit, especially in the urban core where many of Michigan's poisoned children live, a Free Press investigation has found. Soil tests commissioned by the newspaper show dozens of locations...with lead levels that have triggered cleanups in other U.S. communities. But most of the sites will never be cleaned up." (DETROIT FREE PRESS) The author focuses on lead poisoning in the Detroit area and suggests that while "thousands of children in America's older, industrial cities grow up playing in toxic dirt in their backyards and neighborhoods," cleanups likely will not happen "because the national strategy for preventing lead poisoning focuses on paint."
