In 1979, a study by Dr. Herbert Needleman at the University of Pittsburgh showed that blood levels of lead that were considered safe even a few years earlier could affect the development of a child s brain. This work was strongly controverted at first. Today, however, it is generally accepted that common everyday exposures to lead threaten the health and wellbeing of children.

A number of these clinicians and scientists merit added acknowledgment for their contributions to the broader clinical, regulatory, and societal aspects of lead beyond their many scientific contributions. Of particular note for such recognition are the late Clair Patterson and Herbert L. Needleman. Also to be recognized are the multiple contributions of the late Julian J. Chisolm, Jr., Lester D. Grant, Bruce Lanphear, the late Kathryn R. Mahaffey, John F. Rosen, Joel Schwartz, and Ellen K. SUbergeld.
