New study from @SUNY @UpstateNews indicates Africa and Asia are source of #leadpoisoning cases among refugee communities in U.S. with 7% of the newly arrived children having elevated blood lead levels (≥ 5 μg/dL) https://t.co/aIxFviJbHM

Great science from collaboration between @upstatemedical and @SyracuseU . https://t.co/NqXCdjr5jH @Tina_Lupone and colleagues showing that refugees arriving to Syracuse are subjected to risk of elevated blood levels. We can do better!

@RepJohnKatko it's very much needed. @Tina_Lupone and colleagues found that just moving into Syracuse leads to increased blood lead levels among refugees. https://t.co/NqXCdjr5jH
