Actions we can take beyond the household

Protecting children together

Lead poisoning is an invisible crisis, but one that is preventable. It is possible for every child to have a lead-free future, but only if we take collective action now.

Families and communities must act together by:

Asking for blood lead testing: Work with your neighbors to ask local clinics for community or national blood lead screening.
Reporting unsafe recycling or industrial activities near homes and schools, or places where children play.
Supporting awareness and education about the dangers of lead and how to protect their families.
Advocating for laws that ban lead in consumer products.

Your voice is powerful.
