Community Lead Poisoning Prevention Programs

Community Lead Poisoning Prevention Programs are initiatives aimed at reducing exposure to lead, which can be harmful, especially to children’s development. These programs educate families about sources of lead, such as old paint and contaminated soil, and promote testing, safe renovation practices, and proper cleanup. They also work to identify and remediate lead hazards in homes and communities. By raising awareness and providing resources, these programs help prevent lead poisoning, ensuring safe environments for everyone, particularly vulnerable populations like children and pregnant women.
