CDC denies Milwaukee’s request for help with unsafe lead levels in public schools

The CDC denied Milwaukee's request for help with toxic lead levels in public schools due to recent cuts to its Lead Program, according to Aaron Bernstein.
Milwaukee's public health officials had been working with the CDC for two months before receiving the denial, noted by Milwaukee's health commissioner, Dr. Michael Totoraitis.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Acknowledged that some positions should not have been cut and indicated that certain programs might be reinstated.
Despite setbacks, the Milwaukee Health Department remains committed to addressing lead contamination locally, according to spokesperson Caroline Reinwald.
