The book Chemistry on a Budget contains chemistry labs that are useful with inexpensive, easy to obtain materials.

“About 22,730 housing units in Ventura County where lead-based paint was used could have the toxic substance mitigated, thanks to a proposed $60 million settlement in an 18-year-old lawsuit.
The prospective remediation costs arise from a public nuisance lawsuit filed by Santa Clara County in 2000 against three lead paint manufacturers: NL Industries Inc., ConAgra Grocery Products Co. and Sherwin-Williams Co.”

“According to the World Health Organization, childhood lead poisoning can lead to severe and permanent developmental effects on the brain and nervous system and, in high-exposure cases, even death. With lower exposure, it can cause a reduced IQ, reduced attention span, learning difficulties and increased antisocial behavior. Those effects are irreversible.”
“Two [of the three] paint manufacturers, Sherwin Williams and Conagra, that want to wipe out potentially hundreds of millions of dollars in legal obligations could send the issue to voters. They could have enough signatures today to put their initiative on California's November ballot. The manufacturers want to dedicate taxpayer money to remove lead paint from homes and schools. The measure would undo a pricey court ruling that holds them accountable for selling toxic paint. John Blackstone reports.“
