I was instructed to immerse myself with the Risk-Screening Environmental Indicators (RSEI) model. The goal was to create a time trend analysis of lead releases throughout New Orleans and then all of Louisiana. It could show the total amount of lead released by many facilities throughout the city in comparison to the state over a specific time period. In addition, facilities with the largest impacts could be highlighted. Post-Katrina New Orleans is still recovering 10 years later. With the known health consequences of lead exposure having been known since the 1800s, recent interest in environmental lead concentrations has sparked research projects. There has been grave concern by the medical community that a significant amount of children have elevated blood lead levels. The analysis could help to further reduce lead exposure and its corresponding potential for neurological
