Syracuse Lead Crisis Study

The Environmental Justice Lab is working with Families for Lead Freedom Now to research the current lead crisis in Syracuse, NY. This research project examines the history of lead pipe abatement in Syracuse, the path of lead pipe disposal, as well as mapping the order of lead service line replacement around the city.

This video, created by a member of our research team, features members of Families for Lead Freedom Now as well as the director of the EJ Lab. It explores the Syracuse lead crisis and the important role of community organizing.

This research is a work in progress. Check back on this page for updates.
