Once they get down to business, lead paint testing may top the agenda.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Early returns are extremely discouraging. <\/span>Mehr als <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gothamgazette.com\/city\/8739-new-nycha-chair-russ-future-of-public-housing-nycha\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">75 Prozent<\/a> of the 4,000-plus tests conducted so far have come back positive for lead exposure. <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The goal is to immediately eradicate 50 percent of lead paint and completely eliminate it by 2040.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lead eradication may be very slow in light of the other problems plaguing the NYCHA. <\/span>There are allegations of rampant waste and mismanagement, along with other physical issues in public housing units, such as a mysterious \u201ccascading putrid liquid\u201d in one development.<\/p>\n<h3><b>Lead Poisoning Effects<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Young children under six are particularly vulnerable to the effects of lead poisoning. <\/span>These young victims often suffer physical symptoms, such as abdominal pain, loss of appetite, and overall fatigue. <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Perhaps more importantly, especially over the long term, lead poisoning often causes a significant <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.atsdr.cdc.gov\/csem\/csem.asp?csem=34&amp;po=10\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Gehirnverletzung<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>Specific symptoms include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Diminished hand\/eye coordination and muscle coordination,<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Reizbarkeit,<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lower IQ,<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Depression,<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Moodswings,<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Memory loss,<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Headaches, and<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Diminished cognitive and problem-solving skills.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All these symptoms make it difficult for these victims to function at school. <\/span>As a result, they often fall behind their classmates in early elementary school. <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The lack of development has a snowball effect, as these children often get further and further behind. <\/span>Problems at school often cause depression and problems at home, and the downward spiral continues.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Other possible lead poisoning effects include lead nephrotoxicity (renal and kidney problems). <\/span>Lead levels as low as 5 \u00b5g\/dL have been linked to decreased kidney functions. <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At 10 \u00b5g\/dL, many victims develop lead nephropathy, an often irreversible condition that wrecks kidney functions and increases blood pressure.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lead and other heavy metals may also cause cancer and other serious or chronic health conditions.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Rechtliche M\u00f6glichkeiten<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In short, a tiny amount of lead may cause a lifetime of underachievement, pain, and suffering. <\/span>These young victims never get a chance to reach their full potential.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Toxic exposure victims who lived in New York City Housing Authority are filing legal claims against the City, NYCHA, and other individuals for failure to identify and remediate the pervasive lead contamination.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Damages in a lead poisoning claim usually include compensation for economic losses, such as medical bills, and noneconomic losses, such as pain and suffering. <\/span>In einigen extremen F\u00e4llen kann auch zus\u00e4tzlicher Strafschadensersatz verf\u00fcgbar sein.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Even a tiny amount of lead may cause permanent injury. <\/span>F\u00fcr eine
