Lead in Cookware: a problem for immigrant families. 

The state of Washington has enacted Lead in Cookware Act, which will ban the toxic from any products used to cook food. This is particularly a problem with cookware produced overseas and used in immigrant households. 

CLASH consultant Dr. Maria Jose Talayero Schettino opens her presentation on lead and crime with several slides showing the cookware she ate from in her native Mexico and later treated as a pediatrician in Mexico City before coming to GW university to get her PhD in Public Health.
