Happy Earth Day to our visitors.  We invited you to think green by learning about the Alliance for Healthy Homes (AFHH),  an environmental advocacy agency based in Washington, DC.  This agency provides much useful information about environmental hazards, including lead poisoning. AFHH publishes a monthly on-line newsletter, the Alliance Alert, that provides timely updates on environmental news as well as information on upcoming conferences and trainings.
