Dustwipe Get the Lead Out (GLO)

GLO homeThe goal of the Get the Lead Out (GLO) project is to find and fix hazards before children get lead poisoned.

GLO staff inspect children's homes, educate residents about how to protect their children from lead poisoning, and encourage property owners to minimize lead hazards. 

GLO provides families with information about the lead hazards of their homes and recommendations as to how these hazards may be corrected and/or avoided.  GLO educates families as to how to protect their children from lead poisoning and provides them with cleaning kits. GLO also works with property owners in order to support their lead hazard reduction efforts. 

GLO is currently administered by Action for a Better Community (ABC) in collaboration with the University of Rochester and the City of Rochester. For more information call Steven Turner, Project Coordinator, at ABC (325-5116, ex. 4555).
