In a neighborhood within 3-5 miles of a former battery recycling plant site that have been shut down for just over a year. Some people in this neighborhood are experiencing moderate to severe headaches, acute abdominal pain, low red blood cell counts, and in some patients, severe cases have exhibited seizures and kidney failure. My diagnosis is Lead (Pb) poisoning coming from the decomposition of batteries. Describe all clinical, physical and lab tests you might run to confirm your Diagnosis. Based on your diagnosis, describe the appropriate Treatment(s) that may be administered.
