Lead Poisoning Prevention Week Infographic highlights the U.S. observance from October 22–28, emphasizing the importance of preventing childhood lead exposure. It outlines CDC and EPA guidelines and introduces SSG’s CLPPP application, a tool aiding public health departments in efficient lead poisoning interventions. The infographic underscores the collective effort to ensure a lead-free life for every child.

1. Childhood lead poisoning is preventable. The Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC) and Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
recommend:
Public health officials can use SSG’s Casetivity-CLPPP to:
Educating adults, parents, caregivers, and businesses on the dangers
of lead exposure and where it is most likely to be found, including
lead-based paint in homes built before 1978, lead dust, and
contaminated drinking water, soil, and air.
Testing children at risk of lead exposure for elevated blood lead
levels and remember that no safe blood lead level in children has
been identified.
Providing timely follow-up care and treatment to children with
elevated blood lead levels while monitoring their symptoms.
Inspecting and remediating lead-based hazards in the community
as soon as they have been detected.
The event takes place October 22–28 in the U.S. to
raise awareness about lead poisoning prevention,
including how state, local, and tribal governments
can reduce childhood lead exposure with
regular testing, home and environmental
inspections, and proper data collection.
