Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention Program (CLPPP)

The Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention Program (CLPPP) is a public health initiative focused on reducing children's exposure to lead, a toxic metal that can harm development. It involves screening children for lead levels, especially in high-risk areas, and providing education on how to avoid lead exposure from sources like old paint, contaminated soil, or water. CLPPP also works to identify and eliminate lead hazards in homes and communities, ensuring children grow up in safer environments. The goal is to prevent lead poisoning before it causes serious health problems, supporting healthier development for all children.
