AMULET LINKS:       AMULET is project dedicated to addressing the problems of urban lead
                                      poisoning and asthma in young children living in the Philadelphia and
                                      Camden areas. The overall goal of AMULET is to raise public awareness
Asthma Information     about these health hazards to children and, more importantly, reduce the
                                        exposure of children to lead and to environmental factors that trigger
                                      asthma attacks through educating and training parents, educators and
Lead Information         members of the communities in both Camden and Philadelphia.

                        AMULET  is a project designed to prevent lead poisoning and
                                                        increase awareness of asthma and its public health
                                                        consequences.
                        Managing  asthma wisely will reduce its impact on children's
                                                        lives while monitoring environmental sources of lead
                                                        will reduce the chances of children developing lead
                                                        poisoning.
                        Urban        children are especially at risk of exposure to
                                                        environmental sources of lead and asthma inducing
                                                        factors.
                        Lead          is the #1 environmental hazard to many children while
                                                        asthma affects 3 million children and 7 million adults a
                                                        year.
                        Educating  ourselves about asthma and lead poisoning is the best
                                                        defense that we have to improve our overall health.
                        Training     will be offered to parents, day care centers and health
                                                        providers.
