LITTLE ROCK — National Lead Poisoning Prevention Week (NLPPW) highlights how parents, caregivers, and communities can lower children’s exposure to lead and avoid its serious health effects. To raise awareness of childhood lead poisoning prevention, the Arkansas Department of Health (ADH), the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) are participating in NLPPW from October 19-25.

The ADH will be participating in multiple activities in Arkansas throughout the week. To learn more about lead exposure, visit ADH’s Lead-Based Paint program at the following events in support of NLPPW: kAmuC:52J[ ~4E] aci r:EJ @7 {:EE=6 #@4< t>A=@J66 w62=E9 u2:C[ {:EE=6 #@4<[ h 2]>] – a A]>]k^A
