This Concept Map, created with IHMC CmapTools, has information related to: MStrauch 1990-1994, “Federal Medicaid programs to test for the metal in children have been virtually ignored in California for more than a decade.” (1991) ???? Role of State, “In the high-risk areas, the places with older, leaded paint buildings that are downwind of industrial plants or near a freeway, virtually everybody is being exposed to lead.” (1991) ???? Environmental Inequity, “In California, state health officials have allowed doctors wide discretion in complying with lead-poisoning screening requirements.” (1991) ???? Power Relations, “That is a controversial approach, requiring companies to pay for business practices that resulted in massive pollution but were, nonetheless, perfectly legal at the time. In this case, however, it’s justified.” (1991) ???? Economic Flow, Role of State ???? Lead and Urban Gardening Conflict 1990-1994, Environmental Inequity ???? Lead and Urban Gardening Conflict 1990-1994, “It’s damaging to our children and to our country’s future competitiveness. We are not in a position to give up a few more IQ points to anyone.” (1991) ???? Stakeholders, “California health officials reportedly are near settlement of a lawsuit brought by the Natural Resources Defense Council and the American Civil Liberties Union that would require the state Department of Health Services to test poor children for lead poisoning.” (1991) ???? Role of State, Problem Negotiation ???? Lead and Urban Gardening Conflict 1990-1994, “I wouldn’t expect any harm from levels like this, said Bob Holzer, a member of the toxic branch’s medical surveillance team. Nevertheless, if I had a chance or a choice, I would avoid exposure. Lead doesn’t serve any physiological purpose for humans, and higher levels of it than we see here would have only a negative impact.” (1991) ???? Problem Negotiation, “A lack of public awareness, some official indifference, and a maze of changing and largely unenforced safety regulations prevail today.” (1991) ???? Problem Identification, “Scientists still can’t even agree on how much lead is too much. And no one has quantified the number of people at risk or where they live.” (1991) ???? Role of Science, Stakeholders ???? Lead and Urban Gardening Conflict 1990-1994, Economic Flow ???? Lead and Urban Gardening Conflict 1990-1994, “What is clear is that few of the state’s several hundred lead-intensive job sites are ever visited by inspectors. When they are, and violations are found, the victims and those responsible for the problem are shielded from public scrutiny. Only case numbers and names of cities where the offending companies are located are available to reporters or the general public.” (1991) ???? Power Relations, Solution ???? Lead and Urban Gardening Conflict 1990-1994, Power Relations ???? Lead and Urban Gardening Conflict 1990-1994, Redevelopment ???? Lead and Urban Gardening Conflict 1990-1994, “More than a decade after California passed some of the nation’s toughest worker safety rules, the state’s effort to regulate exposure to lead has failed” (1991) ???? Stakeholders, “Exposure to lead is not limited to low-income families living in public housing. It can also occur when more affluent families refurbish midtown Victorians or older homes in stylish parts of a city.” (1991) ???? Stakeholders
