This week is National Lead Poisoning Prevention Week and we will be raising awareness of lead poisoning prevention to help reduce childhood exposure to lead. Learn about lead exposure, hazards + how you can protect your family: cdc.gov/lead-preventio… #LeadFreeKids #NLPPW2025

A common source of lead exposure is cracked/chipped lead-based paint, used on many homes built pre-1978. Kids can be exposed by swallowing/breathing in lead dust, eating paint chips + chewing on surfaces coated with lead dust/lead-based paint. Learn more: cdc.gov/lead-preventio…

Choosing to get your child tested for lead is an important way to ensure your child stays healthy + develops appropriately. A simple blood test can detect lead. Consult your healthcare provider for advice on blood lead testing. Visit leadfreekidsco.org to learn more.

Lead exposure can happen during renovation, repair or painting in a home built before 1978. This exposure can be reduced by using lead-safe work practices. When using a contractor, use one that is a certified renovation contractor. Learn more: youtube.com/watch?v=jEe9-M…

Lead may be in items made in other countries + imported into the US including toys, jewelry, health remedies, foods and spices, cosmetics, lead-glazed pottery + aluminum cookware. For more information about recalls and lead in imported products visit: cdc.gov/lead-preventio…
