QUESTION: The most recent statistics that you have on lead poisoning in Australia. 24 Mar 2008 NSW, Australia

Hello, I am a year 9 student in Sydney researching Lead Poisoning in Australia - your website has been very helpful, but i am still looking for recent statistics on lead poisoning in Australia.

I would appreciate it if you could e-mail me the most recent statistics that you have.

Thankyou very much

Ella Stenning‍

Dear Ella,

We apologize for the enormous delay in response to your e-mail. We had a shortage in staff who answer the e-mails. You must be in year 10 by now. I hope you did well on your research and got excellent results. If you would like to send us your research, we would be more than happy to publish it on our website.

Sorry again and good luck.

Regards,

Iman Hegazi MBBS, MD. Forensic Medicine and Toxicology, Volunteer
