This story, a partnership between the Center for Public Integrity and Grist , is the third in a soil lead-contamination series that began at Grist (read parts one and two ). Reporter Yvette Cabrera has investigated lead's impacts for eight years. The news came as a shock: Lead, lurking somewhere in Nalleli Garrido's home, was poisoning her 1-year-old son. His pediatrician instructed her to clean all the toys of her toddler, Ruben, keep the home dust-free, and prevent him from playing in the bare soil outside her rented bungalow in Santa Ana, California's Logan neighborhood.
