TRANSCRIPT: MAYOR DE BLASIO DELIVERS REMARKS AT THE LABOR LUNCHEON, "We believe that it should be a city of, and by, and for working people. And so, we announced just last month that we are guaranteeing health care for every single New Yorker."
These initiatives will eliminate childhood lead exposure by 2029. This represents the most aggressive and holistic approach to protecting kids from lead of any city or state in the nation.
The LeadFreeNYC plan will for the first time screen every apartment for potential lead hazards, eliminate lead risks in NYCHA apartments and family shelters, target unsafe consumer goods, provide children with dedicated nurses, and link together City agencies responding to lead exposure. Transcript.
