No safe level of lead in children has been identified. Even low levels of lead in blood can hurt a child’s ability to learn, pay attention, and do well in school. A blood test is the best way to determine if a child has been exposed to lead. Based on blood lead test results, healthcare providers and public health staff can recommend follow-up actions and care. Winnebago County Public Health recommends that all children be tested at least 3 times before the age of 3.
Winnebago County Public Health Lead-Safe Homes Program helps keep kids safe from the dangers of lead poisoning by providing the safe removal of lead from qualified homes and rental properties.
