Using Art To Communicate And Lead Pollution Exposure In Children, This West Virginia Morning

Listen

On this West Virginia Morning, Eastern Panhandle artist Antonia Capriotti creates paintings and illustrations that are full of life. Her journey as an artist began in Jefferson County’s public schools, where special education classes helped her discover a lifelong passion.

And The Allegheny Front is based in Pittsburgh and reports on regional environmental news. Their latest story looks at the findings of a study into how infants and young children get exposed to dangerous levels of lead – and what happens when they do.
