National Lead Poisoning Prevention week is October 19 - 25.
This event will be held at the Watertown Urban Mission at 247 Factory Street in Watertown.
Bring small household items to be tested for lead. This may include toys, antiques, jewelry, dishware, pottery and/or ceramics.
We will provide educational materials that cover lead-safe cleaning tips, nutritious foods that help prevent lead poisoning and renovating older homes.
The first 20 participants will receive an insulated & reusable grocery bag filled with cleaning supplies that help lower exposure to lead dust in the home!
