National Lead Poisoning Prevention Program

The National Lead Poisoning Prevention Program (NLPPPP) is a U.S. initiative aimed at reducing lead exposure, particularly in children. Lead can cause serious health issues, including developmental delays and learning difficulties. The program focuses on educating the public about lead sources, promoting blood testing for children, and supporting efforts to eliminate lead hazards, especially in older homes. It collaborates with various organizations to raise awareness, enhance screening efforts, and improve housing safety. By preventing lead poisoning, the NLPPPP helps ensure healthier environments for children and communities across the nation.
