Lead Exposure Reduction Program

The Lead Exposure Reduction Program aims to minimize health risks from lead, a toxic metal that can cause serious health problems, especially in children. It involves identifying and removing or controlling sources of lead, such as old paint, contaminated soil, or plumbing. The program also includes community education, testing homes, and promoting safe practices to prevent lead exposure. By addressing these sources, the program helps protect public health, reduce lead-related illnesses, and ensure safer environments, particularly for vulnerable populations like children and pregnant women.
