United Parents Against Lead
& Other Environmental Hazards
Supporting parents of lead-poisoned children.
UPAL, founded by parents of lead-poisoned children, is committed first and foremost to ensuring the fundamental rights of all children to live in a safe and healthy environment. Our mission includes increasing awareness and providing education and training to prevent childhood lead poisoning and other environmental hazards. United by our experiences and commitment to children, we know firsthand the effects of lead poisoning and the irreparable damage and suffering caused by this preventable disease. Parents are responsible for bringing children's voices and experiences into the national dialogue and reminding participants that children's health and safety are ultimately everyone's responsibility.
