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.
