  • An editorial is presented which addresses the authors' views about the prevention of elevated blood lead levels (EBLLs) in child refugees and others, and it mentions another article which appears in the same issue of the journal and deals with lead poisoning involving child refugees in Kentucky. The impact of lead toxicity on child neurodevelopment is examined, along with refugee resettlement, health screenings, and a comparison of the EBLLs of U.S. children and child refugees.
