Lead poisoning is still a risk endured by residents of New York, particularly children. A recent report by CBS New York indicates that the #7 Train trestle in Queens is under toxic decay with lead levels 44 times greater than acceptable lead levels. Additionally, this problem has existed for decades as that section has not been painted in 35 years. Falling paint chips containing lead pose a serious threat, particularly to children. Hopefully, this threat is quickly remedied and the health and well-being of our community is the primary concern.
