After years of striving to be rid of lead-based paint because of the toxic effect it has upon children who eat the chips, Laidlaw et als (2005) article illustrates a
similar end result from the seasonal aspect of lead poisoning in urban areas of the United States where temperatures are rising, previously moist soil is drying out and subsequently releasing
lead in its blowing dust. The incidence of inhaled lead in childrens blood during certain times of the year is clearly indicative of the changing climates impact upon normal
environmental conditions; now with these findings, the frequency of lead poisoning - which "causes permanent neurologic, developmental, and behavioral disorders, particularly in children" (Laidlaw et al, 2005, p. 793) -
due directly to climate change proves to be yet another peripheral consequence of global warming. ...Seasonal increases in childrens blood Pb (BPb) levels relate to exposure via activity, that
is, summer days of outdoor play and open windows and doors leading to increased contact with Pb-contaminated soils...higher childrens BPb levels may be related to a combination of weather, soil
moisture, and wind that effectively remobilizes and makes more bioavailable the diffuse soil Pb. This process may exacerbate this usual summertime behavioral link, with added impacts on urban childrens
health (Laidlaw et al, 2005, p. 793). II. DRIVEN TO EXTREMES Human activity is responsible for a combination of beneficial and detrimental
outcomes in direct relation to the ongoing quest to progress the species; while there are human activities that have no socially redeeming qualities yet are still damaging to people and
the environment, the greatest impact has been realized in the form of global warming and the subsequent health issues for which its fallout is accountable. Tibbetts (2007) article discusses
