A Brooklyn jury awarded
an 8-year-old boy and his
mother $3.85 million yester-
day after finding the city
was responsible for the
child’s lead poisoning.
It was-one of the costliest
lead-poisoning verdicts €v=
er against the city, legal ex:
perts said.
Lamont Stoves gradually
ingested toxic Jevels of lead
by eating paint chips as @
toddler in his mother’s city-
Stuyvesant.
Lawyer Alan Konigsberg,
who represents Lamont and
his mother, Judy Powell,
now of Youngstown, Ohio,
told the jury the city knew
about the lead hazard but
did nothing to correct it.
He charged city doctors
tried to cover up Lamont’s
condition when they
Jearned how bad if was.
The boy’s 1Q is below av-
erage at 88. He has suffered
a loss of appetite and has
had problems concentrat-
ing and behaving in school,
Konigsberg said. He current-
ly is repeating the first
grade for the third time.
The boy’s mother testi-
fied that when the city
bought the late 19th centu-
ry Madison i
1991, inspectors found plen-
ty of peeling paint but did
nothing about it.
Lamont lived in the Brook-
was first diagnosed with
lead poisoning at age 2.
City lawyers were not im-
mediately available for com-
ment, but the city generally
appeals large damage ver-
dicts.

Title
"Why Sample?" and other classroom exercises
Description
These handwritten instructor's notes from a 1999 training session were prepared for a one-day course taught by Hunter College's Center for Occupational and Environmental Health (COEH). The notes outline various classroom exercises designed to engage students collaboratively, often encouraging them to think about the health and legal implications of various occupational health issues, including lead poisoning and air pollution. In addition to the notes is an annotated newspaper article handed out to the class. Its markup reflects the instructor's intended instruction and interpretation of the article.
Officially founded in 1990, the COEH spent decades dedicating itself to promoting community and workplace health throughout the New York area. It offered courses on topics ranging from asthma to ergonomics for unions, neighborhood groups, public employees, and others.
