Safe Children's Lead Education (SCALE)

Safe Children's Lead Education (SCALE) is a program that raises awareness about the dangers of lead exposure in children. It provides families, caregivers, and communities with information on how lead can harm health, especially for young children whose development is particularly vulnerable. The program emphasizes how to identify potential sources of lead, such as older paint or contaminated soil, and encourages proactive steps to prevent exposure. Ultimately, SCALE aims to protect children’s health by educating the public and promoting safe home environments, reducing the risk of lead poisoning and supporting healthier childhood development.
