In this incisive examination of lead poisoning during the past half century, Gerald Markowitz and David Rosner focus on one of the most contentious and bitter battles in the history of public health. Lead Wars details how the nature of the epidemic has changed and highlights the dilemmas public health agencies face today in terms of prevention strategies and chronic illness linked to low levels of toxic exposure. The authors use the opinion by Marylands Court of Appealswhich considered whether researchers at Johns Hopkins Universitys prestigious Kennedy Krieger Institute (KKI) engaged in unethical research on 108 AfricanAmerican childrenas a springboard to ask fundamental questions about the practice and future of public health. Lead Wars chronicles the obstacles faced by public health workers in the conservative, probusiness, antiregulatory climate that took off in the Reagan years and that stymied efforts to eliminate lead from the environments and the bodies of American children.
