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.
