Lead is a ubiquitous toxic agent that is especially damaging to the young child and the developing fetus. Unlike many environmental health risks, the risks associated with lead are no longer theoretical but have been observed for many years. Indeed, the first regulation of lead in paint was enacted in the 1920s. Currently, because of growing evidence of lead toxicity at lower concentrations, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recently lowered its lead-exposure guideline to 10 ug/dl lead in blood from 25 ug/dl. Measuring Lead Exposure in Infants, Children, and Other Sensitive Populations addresses the public health concern about the logistics and feasibility of lead screening in infants and children at such low concentrations. This book will serve as the basis for all U.S. Public Health Service activities and for all state and local programs in monitoring lead.

Lead poisoning, a preventable condition, is one of the most serious environmental health threats to children in the U.S. This report reviews federal activities for ensuring that at-risk children receive screening & treatment for lead poisoning. In particular, it addresses the risk of lead poisoning faced by children served by federal health care programs, the extent to which children served by these programs have been screened for this condition, reasons why screenings may not be occurring, & problems faced by federal health care programs in ensuring that children who have been identified as having harmful lead levels in their blood receive timely follow-up treatment.

Noting the health risks posed by lead exposure, especially for children under age 6, this guide provides U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recommendations on how individuals can reduce the risk of lead exposure and prevent lead poisoning. These recommendations range from simple steps that can be done immediately to more rigorous procedures that can permanently rid a home of lead hazards. The book is divided into the following eight chapters: (1) "Lead in Your Home: A Parent's Guide"; (2) "Reducing the Risk of Lead in Your Home"; (3) "Protecting Your Children from Lead Poisoning"; (4) "What You Need To Know before Working on Your Home"; (5) "Remodeling and Renovation"; (6) "Interim Controls"; (7) "Abatement"; and (8) "Cleaning Up Lead Waste." Each chapter begins with quick tips that highlight important information detailed in the chapter. Four appendices include a list of hotlines, organizations and persons with further information on lead-related issues, as well as abatement guidelines for contractors. (SD)
