Victor St. Pierre: NH needs to fund lead remediation
Lead remediation is cheap compared to years of health care and education costs for children with lead poisoning.
Lead poisoning can cause permanent health problems including reduced IQ and increased rates of ADHD. One study conservatively estimated that it costs $38,000 over three years to educate a child with lead poisoning through special education. This study was published in 2003. Surely these costs have risen remarkably.
