October 22-28, 2017

Each year National Lead Poisoning Prevention Week is a call to bring together individuals, organizations, industry, and state and local governments to help increase lead awareness by using their efforts and collaborations to reduce childhood exposure to lead.

This year’s theme is “Lead-Free Kids for a Healthy Future.” EPA, along with the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and Centers for Disease Control (CDC), will provide information about how to protect yourself and your family from lead poisoning.
