Many of the children attending Kings County’s lead poisoning clinic were from three `lead belt’ neighborhoods in north Brooklyn described – Fort Greene, Bedford Stuyvesant and Crowne Heights. More recently, with publication of the FHA maps of 1934, he recognized the same neighborhoods as being “redlined.” His commentary on this connection “Redlining and lead Poisoning: Causes and Consequences” followed, and was recently published in the Journal of Health Care for the Poor and Underserved and is available Open Access.
