Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention Week material
National Lead Poisoning Prevention Week is the last week of October each year. The theme is Lead-Free Kids for a Healthy Future, and it’s observed by federal agencies, including:
- CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention)

- U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
The goal of the week is educating parents about the dangers of lead exposure and the actions they can take to protect kids. The key message is: “Get your home tested. Get your kids tested. Get the facts.”
