Description
The Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention Program (Child Lead) is responsible for the case management of lead poisoned children in Erie County. Addresses the potential for lead exposure, as well as preventing lead poisoned children from further exposure. Conducts investigations and provides information to the parents or guardians of children under the age of 18 that have tested positive for elevated blood lead level.

Activities of Child Lead include:
- Case management for children with elevated blood lead levels
- Providing information on legislation, sources of lead exposure, methods to reduce lead exposure, medical treatment, and lead hazard reduction activities
- Leadership and coordination of lead activities in the community
- Lead testing for children under age 6
