Editorial

By Hesaan Sheridan, The LEAD Group Inc, UK

This issue marks the debut of The UK LEAD Group and our strong partnership with the UK as part of our Global Mission.

Like all our logos, this LEAD Group UK logo was designed by graphic designer and co-founder of The LEAD Group, Kerry O’Donnell.

This ‘special United Kingdom edition’ issue was produced in conjunction with the UK, our frontpage article reveals that although valuable ongoing research is currently being funded in parts of the UK there is a surprising lack of up to date population-wide data on blood lead levels and lead sources.

is currently being funded in parts of the UK there is a surprising lack of up to date population-wide data on blood lead levels and lead sources.

Perhaps this is why the blood lead limits for UK health care professionals in regard to clinical investigation or intervention of lead poisoning are years behind countries such as the US and Canada.

Also in this issue we review the latest valuable published research, consider the impact of firearms use on lead exposure, and take a very cynical poke at ‘The Legal System’.

We’re very pleased to have a Greek translation of our Blood Lead Challenge.
