FORT WAYNE, Ind. (Indiana's NewsCenter) - A local company donates "green" cleaning supplies to help the Burmese population battle high "lead levels."

Enzyme cleaning manufacturing officials are giving the Burmese products like these to clean their homes.

They say the supplies will help eliminate toxins in their homes because of the natural cleaning agents in the product.

Enzyme officials say they made the donation after hearing of cases of lead poisoning in the Burmese community, and the possible cause of those cases.

Enzyme Spokesman Mark B. Newbauer said, “The reports theories were linked to products being brought in from over seas or outside the country into our community. And those may be linked to the lead poisoning.”

We'll have more on the investigation into those lead poisoning cases as it continues.
