GREEN BAY, Wis. (WFRV) – The Brown County Public Health Department handed out free lead cleaning kits to the community on Thursday, in hopes of reducing the exposure risks for young children.
In a Brown County Public Health release, the Department said that children under six years old are at higher risk of exposures, and that even a little dust from old paint could be harmful.
