: Richmond Virginia Personal Injury LawyerR.I. Supreme Court Upholds Lead Hazard Mitigation Act
By Michael Phelan
On Tuesday, Rhode Island's Supreme Court upheld the constitutionality of The Lead Hazard Mitigation Act (LHMA) which went into effect in 2005. The purpose of the LHMA is to reduce the hazards of deteriorating lead based paint to humans. Lead is a neurotoxin which can cause severe brain damage. Toddlers are particularly susceptible because they tend to put everything in their mouths and because their brains are continuing to develop until they are approximately seven years of age. Introducing a potent neurotoxin into the developing brain can cause irreversible brain damage. Thus, the Rhode Island legislature is to be congratulated for passing the LHMA.
