🔍 Lead may be found in soil, traditional glazed pottery, spices, or in some toys and antiques, particularly those made in other countries. Although lead is invisible to the naked eye and has no smell, exposure to lead can seriously harm children’s health.

✅ Bring ziploc bags of dry soil, pottery, spices, and toys for FREE lead screening from the Multnomah County Health Department!

🌡️ It doesn’t have to be that hot for heat illness to strike! Hot weather can affect you more when it is humid, early in the summer when you aren’t used to heat, or when it stays warm overnight and you don’t have as much of a chance to cool off.

Heat illness can be especially common at events and outdoor activities in the summer. Festivals, street fairs, community gatherings, and even backyard hangouts are important for mental health and community wellness, but stay safe! Make sure to:

🥤 Drink water
🌳 Take breaks in the shade
🧴 Wear sunscreen
🍹 Moderate alcohol, caffeine, and any other substances

Stay cool while having fun, even on days that aren’t that hot ☀️

🌡️ No tiene que estar demasiado caliente para sufrir de enfermedades causadas por el calor. El clima caliente nos afecta más cuando hay mucha humedad, cuando llega el calor prematuramente antes del verano o cuando no bajan las temperaturas durante la noche y no hay oportunidad para refrescarse.

Las enfermedades causadas por el calor pueden ser más comunes durante eventos o actividades al aire libre. Festivales, ferias, eventos comunitarios y hasta las visitas con amigos son muy importantes para nuestra salud mental y bienestar pero, ¡mantengámonos seguros! Asegurense de:

🥤 Tomar agua
🌳 Sentarse bajo la sombra de un árbol
🧴 Usar protector solar
🍹 Moderar el consumo de bebidas alcohólicas, cafeína y otras sustancias

Manténgase fresco y disfrute de la temporada, incluso en los días que no sean tan calientes ☀️
