National Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention Program

The National Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention Program (NCLPPP) is a U.S. initiative aimed at protecting children from lead exposure, which can cause serious health problems, including developmental delays and learning difficulties. The program focuses on identifying and addressing lead sources, such as lead paint in older homes, contaminated water, and soil. It promotes awareness, provides resources for screening, and offers funding for lead hazard removal activities. By helping communities reduce lead risks, the NCLPPP works to ensure that all children can grow up healthy and reach their full potential.
