Childhood Blood Lead Surveillance System

The Childhood Blood Lead Surveillance System is a program that tracks blood lead levels in children to monitor and prevent lead poisoning. It collects data from blood tests conducted in healthcare settings to identify children exposed to lead, a toxic metal that can harm development. By analyzing this information, health authorities can identify at-risk areas, improve prevention efforts, and ensure children receive appropriate care. The system helps protect children’s health by providing valuable insights into exposure trends and guiding public health actions.
