This new research suggests that current U.S. policies are not eradicating enough lead from our infrastructure and environment to keep children safe. The study, conducted in partnership between Quest Diagnostics and Boston Children’s Hospital, included over one million lead blood tests from all 50 states administered to children under the age of 5 between 2018 and 2020. Researchers concluded that 50% of American children have been exposed to lead in the first years of their life—leaving many vulnerable to the irreversible neurological effects that this neurotoxin can trigger when it lingers in our bloodstream....
Sass is among the more than 600,000 workers, including at least 7,000 who work with him at the shipyard, who could become exempt from overtime pay under new proposed changes to the Fair Labor Standards Act.
