Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention Program (CLPPP)
The Orange County Environmental Health Specialists conduct environmental investigations when children with elevated blood lead levels are reported. They identify and test for possible lead sources such as paint, soil, and dust and provide recommendations to reduce exposure to lead. The specialist will follow-up to ensure that sources of lead exposure are eliminated.
