Illinois Lead Poisoning Prevention Program

The Illinois Lead Poisoning Prevention Program aims to protect residents, especially children, from lead exposure that can cause serious health problems. It monitors and reduces lead hazards in homes, schools, and the environment, especially in older buildings with lead-based paint. The program offers screening, education, and resources to identify and eliminate sources of lead. By promoting safe practices and compliance with regulations, it helps prevent lead poisoning, ensuring healthier living conditions for Illinois families, particularly vulnerable populations.
