Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention

Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention Program (CLPPP)

CLPPP provides services to the community to: 

• increase awareness of the hazards of lead exposure
• reduce lead exposure
• increase the number of children assessed and appropriately blood tested for lead poisoning

A public health nurse provides home visitation and case management, and a registered environmental health specialist provides environmental home inspections to families of children found to be severely lead-poisoned.

CLPPP provides information and education to the general public, medical providers and community-based organizations.
