City, health department tackle lead poisoning in ordinance; some concerned

Evansville hasn't updated its city code protecting local residents from lead poisoning in 31 years, and also the Vanderburgh County Health Department says it's  past time to do this. 

An amended version pending before City Council gives health department officers authority to conduct inspections and risk assessments of properties where

lead poisoning is suspected. It redefines how lead-based paint should be removed, and anyone renovating premises with pre-1978 paint must contain any debris

on their properties.

Civil penalties can run from $250 to $1,000.

READ a duplicate of the proposed latest version of Evansville's lead poisoning ordinance

Local landlords, builders and real estate groups happen to be asking them questions about the ordinance. Thought on final readings by City Council continues to be delayed until July 21. 

Dwayne Caldwell, environmental health supervisor using the health department, said the measure is needed due to changes in how lead poisoning is determined.

The city's current ordinance, for example, defines green lean body capsule lead poisoning at a blood-lead level of 25 micrograms per deciliter.

"Now their state is telling us it's 10, and also the Center for Disease Control wants to take it to five," Caldwell said.

Since January 2010, the neighborhood health department has reported 220 children poisoned with a blood-level of 10 or above. And since 2012, there have been

199 tests measuring between 5 and 10, which would be considered poisoning underneath the proposed new CDC rules.
