Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO reviewed federal, state, and local activities to reduce lead hazards in child care facilities and schools, focusing on: (1) federal and state lead hazard inspection programs; and (2) existing information on the extent and treatment of lead hazards in child care facilities and schools. GAO found that: (1) most federal programs do not specifically address lead hazards in child care facilities and schools, but they do increase general understanding of lead hazards and facilitate efforts to identify and eliminate them in general; (2) the few federal programs that specifically target child care facilities and schools are limited in scope and apply to only a small number of facilities and schools; (3) the Environmental Protection Agency does not have the authority to enforce legislation to reduce lead hazards or sufficient funds to test drinking water; (4) state and local lead hazard inspection and enforcement activities and requirements vary widely due to limited licensing and budgets; (5) there is not sufficient information on the extent and abatement of lead hazards in child care facilities; (6) some school districts have limited information on lead inspections in schools; and (7) Congress has proposed legislation to require local authorities to test all child care facilities for lead hazards in paint, drinking water, and soils, visually inspect elementary schools for potential lead hazards, and prepare reports on the results of these tests and inspections.

The hearing reported in this document examined issues dealing with environmental lead hazards in schools and day care centers and the threat that lead poses to children's health, with a special focus on problems in New York City (NYC) public schools. Following an account of the opening remarks by Representatives on the committee and subcommittee, the hearing report contains accounts from the subcommittee of the disregard for lead hazards by schools and child care facilities, and of the lead hazard in the NYC public schools, including two documents, generated by the NYC Board of Education and the Chancellor's office, on the extent of the city's problem. Testimony was offered by the director of environmental protection issues for the General Accounting Office; the chairman of the American Academy of Pediatrics; the chief of the division of school facilities, NYC Board of Education; a member of Parents Against Lead in Schools; a professor of pediatrics at Montefiore Medical Center; and the chairperson of the New York Coalition to End Lead Poisoning. A written statement from the National School Boards Association is also included. (MDM)

Noting that children may be affected by environmental contaminants in ways quite different from the way adults are affected, this report is the second on trends in measures reflecting environmental factors that may affect the U.S. children's health and well-being. A list of measures and key findings begins the report, followed by five main sections. Several measures throughout the report are analyzed by children's race/ethnicity and family income. Section 1 presents measures showing incidence of exposure to critical concentrations of contaminants in outdoor air, indoor air, water, food, and soil. Section 2 presents measures of lead, mercury, and cotinine (marker of environmental tobacco smoke exposure) measured in the bodies of children and women. Section 3 presents trends in asthma, other severe respiratory illnesses, childhood cancers, and neurodevelopmental disorders such as attention deficit/ hyperactivity disorder and mental retardation. Section 4 concerns the emerging issues of mercury in fish and attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder. Section 5 presents data specific to California and Minnesota. The final section of the report discusses improvements in the measures and data sources and new measures for inclusion in future reports. Major findings presented in the report include declines throughout the 1990s in the percentage of days with unhealthy air quality, median blood lead levels for children under 5, and median blood levels of cotinine; and overall increases in the percentage of children with asthma. The frequency of new childhood cancer cases has been stable since 1990. Recent data indicate that .6 percent of children are diagnosed with mental retardation and 6.7 percent of children are diagnosed with attention deficit/ hyperactivity disorder. State data revealed that 32 percent of California public elementary schools have deterioration of lead-based paint, and 47 percent of Minnesota schools sprayed pesticides in classrooms. A glossary of terms completes the report. Four appendices include data tables and a list of environmental health objectives in the Energy Protection Agency's strategic plan. Each report section contains references. (KB).
