Study: Lead Blamed for Violence in New Orleans, Other Cities For those looking explain the city's off-the-charts murder rate, just look at the soil. A new paper out today from the man who has become the city's leading lead researcher connects the toxin to violence. In the study, which was published in the journal Environment International, Tulane's Howard Mielke and another researcher found a direct correlation between the release of lead dust and aggravated assault - which are crimes that involve an inent to injure and, typically, deadly weapons. Lead Contamination Closes 3 More Playgrounds by Emily Snyder Sparked by recent action on the part of the organization NOLA Unleaded, and the subsequent closure and remediation of Markey Park, the City's Department of Health and Office of Coastal and Environmental Affairs has begun testing the lead levels in New Orleans parks. Howard Mielke, a Tulane University bioenvrionmental professor who has spent the last several decades telling the city which parks are contaminated with lead. Heeding the call that was spurred by parents around Markey Park, City officials are conducting their own tests.Three of the parks--Danneel, Taylor, and Annunciation--were immediately closed. Getting the Lead OutThe Vocal Citizens Behind the Closure - and Cleanup - of a Contaminated Bywater Park Between the time Laura Grenda's son began playing at Bywater's Mickey Markey Park when he was six months old and last month's closure of the park to remediate the "off the charts" levels of lead in the soil, all that changed was public awareness about the toxins.
Whether citizens or city officials noticed, the toxins were always there.
