Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention Program

The Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention Program focuses on protecting children from lead exposure, which can cause serious health issues, including developmental delays and learning difficulties. This program educates parents and communities about the dangers of lead, particularly from sources like old paint, contaminated soil, and plumbing. It promotes lead screening for young children, offers resources for safe home environments, and advocates for policies that reduce lead hazards. By raising awareness and providing support, the program aims to ensure every child has the opportunity to grow up healthy and thrive without the risks associated with lead poisoning.
