Lead Testing
Lead exposure is dangerous and can seriously harm a child’s health. CDC states that no level of lead in a child’s system is safe. Only a blood lead test can tell if a child has an abnormal exposure to lead.
Children with elevated test results require additional testing and follow-up to decrease further exposure and limit damage to the long-term health of the child. Exposure risks change over time as a toddler becomes more active.
Lead screenings should be completed every year from age 1 through age 5. Most times, children will need a recent lead level to be enrolled in school.
