Child lead testing events

We are bringing a mobile testing lab to your neighborhood. A blood test is the only way to know if your child has lead poisoning.

Lead poisoning can cause serious health issues, such as: 

• Learning problems
• Behavioral problems
• Slowed growth
• Hearing problems
• Developmental problems

Test your child if they:

• Are under 6 years old
• Live in a home built before 1978
• Live in a home with recent repairs to painted wood trim, walls, or floors
• If you are concerned for your child’s health
• Have a playmate or sibling with lead in his or her blood

Lead poisoning is 100% preventable. Please get your children tested at one of the many testing events we host throughout the year or from your family doctor.
