Todd was surprised to find out that varnish is a common cause of lead poisoning in children. The department can detect lead positioning in children with a finger prick blood test. Erin emphasized that families can learn more about the program by visiting the Public Department of Delta & Menominee Counties website at www.phdm.org and clicking on the community services tab.
During the interview, Brenda Moya, the Director of the Weatherization Department shed light on the importance of weatherizing houses in Marquette, Alger, Schoolcraft, Menominee, and Delta County. She elaborated on how weatherization can help families save on bills and promote energy efficiency in homes. Funds are available to help weatherize homes for those in need.
For more information on weatherization and how it can benefit your household, Brenda directed listeners to visit www.communityactionagency.org
