Livable Communities Fair to offer free lead testing
The Pierce County Livable Communities Fair will be offering free lead testing as part of the Healthy Kids and Green Parenting area sponsored by the Tacoma-Pierce County Health Department. The 4th biennial fair will be held Saturday, May 17 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Tacoma Dome Exhibition Hall.
Even low levels of lead can cause developmental delays and have life-long impacts on a child?s intelligence. A blood lead test is one of the best ways to learn if your child has had contact with lead, because symptoms of lead exposure are nearly impossible to detect.
Free blood lead testing will be available for children and pregnant and nursing moms, along with information about ways to avoid contact with lead. The Washington Toxics Coalition will test toys for lead and other harmful chemicals and will share other resources with parents to help ensure their children are playing with safe toys. Parents are invited to bring toys to the fair for free lead testing.
The Healthy Kids and Green Parenting area will feature information and representatives from local natural baby gear shops, the Pierce County Breastfeeding Alliance and Health Department programs focusing on children?s health and safety. Visitors also will be able to learn more about alternatives to hazardous household products, natural yard care techniques, healthy food from local farms, healthy fish choices and the safest personal care products.
Other sections will display resources promoting livable communities, including information on energy conservation, carpooling, recycling, neighborhood emergency preparedness, affordable housing, water quality, public safety, agriculture, recreation, health, education, community involvement and children's activities.
