Breakout 2A: Addressing Toxins in Our Schools, Workplaces, and Homes

Only available as part of a package

(Social Work CE)

Lead, Mercury, Pesticides, Formaldehyde, Asbestos, and Benzene are all toxins that have been found in high-poverty schools across the country. How can social workers keep our children safe when they themselves are at risk? What do we do when these same substances are found in our homes? How do we know our rights when mold is found in the workplace? These threats to our everyday environment require emphatic responses from social workers on all levels.
