LEAD POISONING
 In New York City

Dereliction
Lead poisoning is a prevalent problem of New York City.  The effect of lead in children may result in escalating problems throughout their lives.  We, four CUNY Honors College students, investigated lead poisoning in New York City while attempting to conclude whether or not New York City has done enough to rectify its lead poisoning problem.  After analyzing data, legislature, and court decisions, we have concluded that in comparison to former actions taken by New York City which addressed former issues (such as asbestos), New York City has not done nearly enough to control its lead poisoning problem and that the leading bodies of New York City need to do much more to resolve the lead poisoning issue.
