NOVA Libraries to Host “This Lead Is Killing Us,” Jan. 17 thru Feb. 25
The NOVA Libraries are proud to host the National Library of Medicine’s traveling exhibit, This Lead is Killing Us: A History of Citizens Fighting Lead Poisoning in Their Communities. The traveling banner exhibition and companion website explore the story of citizen action taken against an environmental danger. Lead exposure can cause neurological problems and sometimes even death; yet this metal has been pervasive in many aspects of American life for over a century.
The exhibit will rotate amongst the six NOVA Libraries from January 17 through February 24. You can find information on the location of the exhibit on your campus and learn more about the topic of lead poisoning prevention in our online guide.
