kalakoa - Measure the amount of lead in the allegedly exposed children. If the problem is real, their levels will correspond to the measurements taken at each site.
As already noted, about 3% of children in Hawaii tested show elevated levels of lead. The problem becomes identifying the source(s). However, for some, even when a source of exposure is identified, we should apparently wait to identify all the possible sources, and then compare them to all other health impacts, especially the wide-spread chronic alcohol and marijuana use in elementary kids, before doing anything. Or just trust leilanidude - he knows for sure, no science needed!
In order to save even more money, just add it to the kids' science curriculum. Extra credit for those that find the most contaminated soils on school grounds (based on taste of course - no money needed for tools & instruments). The set up the Tonka trucks and garden plots there and they can haul it away or sell it themselves. Free-labor + Pb || As = $$$!
