Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Blood Lead Level Guidelines

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) provides guidelines for blood lead levels to protect public health, especially for children. They establish a reference level at which children may be at risk for potential health effects. If a child's blood lead level is at or above this reference level, further evaluation and interventions are recommended to reduce exposure. The CDC emphasizes that no safe blood lead level has been identified, as even low levels can cause developmental issues. The guidelines aim to raise awareness and prompt actions to prevent lead exposure, particularly in homes and environments.
