Lead Poisoning Prevention Programs

Lead poisoning prevention programs aim to reduce exposure to lead, a toxic metal that can harm health, especially in children. These programs typically educate the public about lead sources, such as old paint, contaminated soil, and plumbing. They promote measures like regular screening for children, safe home renovations, and proper cleaning techniques to minimize lead dust. Additionally, they may offer resources for lead-safe practices and advocate for policies that limit lead exposure in communities. The goal is to protect vulnerable populations and ensure a healthier environment for everyone.
