Majority of Country’s Most Lead Poisoned Cities Are Controlled by Democrats

A majority of the cities with widespread lead poisoning in young children are run by Democrats, according to a new study published in the Journal of Pediatrics.

The six-year study, which took place from 2009 to 2015, was based on more than 5 million blood samples of children under the age of six across the 50 states and the District of Columbia.

The study found that 3 percent of children tested across the nation had blood lead levels categorized as “high.” It singled out six cities—Syracuse, Buffalo, and Poughkeepsie in New York, York and Oil City in Pennsylvania, and Cincinnati, Ohio—as especially troubled communities where more than 14 percent of children had high levels of lead in their blood.

Lead is an issue like asbestos: way overblown IMO. Romans used lead pipes for years, yet humanity survived. Wouldn't recommend that going forward of course (lead pipes), but I really doubt it's the crisis people claim it is.

A crisis, real or imaginary, is the only way commiecrats can t think of to show how in touch with the masses they are.  It is the old racism updated.

The majority of country's large cities are controlled by Democrats.

Syracuse, Buffalo and Cincinnati are also relatively old, midwestern, and economically declining, leaving a lot of old and decaying housing stock and not a lot of new construction.

Lead pipes were so universal in ancient Rome that the word for lead, plumbum, was also used for plumbing.
