DHS Encourages Wisconsinites to Help End Childhood Lead Poisoning

"?State has more than 3,600 cases of lead poisoning reported annually"

The Wisconsin Department of Health Services (DHS) is marking National Lead Poisoning Prevention Week by encouraging all Wisconsinites to take steps to end childhood lead poisoning by getting the facts, helping children get tested for lead exposure, and checking homes for lead hazards.

?Every child deserves a healthy start in life.? said State Health Officer Paula Tran. ?Each year in Wisconsin, thousands of children have their futures put at risk because of lead exposure and poisoning. We know that there is no safe blood lead level in children, so it is critical that we work together to prevent lead exposure.?
