Description :
Lead (a neurotoxin) can be found in household spices. In coordination with the Douglas County Health Department (DCHD), students in CHEM 1144 will collect spice samples from local area families. The samples will then be tested during lab time to determine the presence of lead. This lead testing provides a valuable service to DCHD; who share the results of the tests and information about lead poisoning with the families in our community.
Traditional service learning project.
