Galveston County Daily News, Oct. 28, 2007 Galveston continues to get a failing grade for lead exposure every year on the Children's Report Card published by UTMB. However, a new study, paid for by the Kempner Fund and conducted by the Baylor College of Medicine, gives city leaders a second chance to identify and clean up pockets of lead contamination. The article quotes Jonathan Ward, director of environmental toxicology at UTMB. The article notes that Dr. Wayne Snodgrass recommends a program of mandatory lead testing for all schoolchildren.
