Lead poisoning resources for parents

Every child should be tested for lead poisoning at their 1 and 2 year old well-child visits. Testing should be done beyond age 2 if there are concerns surrounding a potential exposure to lead or if the child has been previously poisoned.

If you are concerned that your child might have lead poisoning, please contact your child’s doctor for an appointment and a blood lead test.

If your child has been diagnosed with lead poisoning, contact your local county health department’s Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention Program.
