Flint,Newark, and now the recent York City Housing Authority have all made headlines this week over the same issue: lead. But the stories differin scope and degree.

In recent York City, U.
S. Attorney Preet Bharara is investigating the health and safety of recent York City public housing. His investigation doesn’t appear to be limited to lead contamination; he is also looking at rodent infestation, and mold and other environmental hazards. WNYC Senior Editor Matthew Schuerman spoke with Soterios Johnson about the latest news on lead in our area and what parents can achieve about it.
