Lead poisoning prevention program, nursing, and environmental staff jointly work to reduce the potential for lead exposure in children. To accomplish this, the Health Department provides leadership and coordination of lead activities in the County, serves as a resource for current information on legislation, sources of lead exposure, medical treatment and abatement methods and educates health professionals in the community at large about risk reduction measures and the dangers of lead poisoning.

Nursing staff provide testing of children ages 9 months to 6 years and case manage elevated leads, providing necessary follow-up and retesting in conjunction with private physicians. Environmental health staff perform home inspection and education in abatement measures on elevated leads.
