Lead Exposure Assessments

Lead exposure assessment involves evaluating whether individuals or environments contain unsafe levels of lead, a toxic metal. It includes testing blood samples from people, especially children, to measure lead levels, and inspecting homes or workplaces for sources like old paint, pipes, or contaminated soil. The goal is to identify exposure risks early, so appropriate steps can be taken to reduce contact and prevent health problems such as developmental delays, neurological damage, or organ issues. This process helps protect vulnerable populations and ensures that environments are safe from lead hazards.
