What Is
National
Lead
Poisoning
Prevention
Week?
Each year, National Lead Poisoning Prevention
Week (NLPPW) is a call to bring together
individuals, organizations, industry, and state,
tribal, and local governments to reduce childhood
exposure to lead by increasing lead poisoning
prevention awareness.
NLPPW highlights the many ways parents,
caregivers, and communities can reduce
children's exposure to lead and prevent its serious
health effects. 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)
partner to heighten awareness of lead exposure
and lead poisoning by providing resources for
the public to use to encourage preventive actions
during NLPPW and beyond.
NLPPW TAKES PLACE OCTOBER 23-29, 2022!
Even very low levels of lead in children's blood are linked to adverse effects on intellect,
concentration, and academic achievement. While the United States has made substantial
progress reducing lead exposure over the last 40 years, significant disparities remain along
racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic lines. For example, Black children and children from
low-income households have persistently been found to have higher blood lead levels than
non-Hispanic white children and children from higher-income households.
The Biden-Harris Administration, CDC, EPA, HUD, and other federal partners are committed
to addressing ongoing lead exposure and lead's health impacts on communities across
the nation, with special attention to environmentally overburdened, underserved, and
economically distressed communities with environmental justice concerns. For NLPPW 2022,
our goal is to protect children and others, regardless of race, color, national origin, or income,
from lead exposure using the key messages Get the Facts, Get Your Child Tested, and Get
Your Home Tested. This NLPPW, we encourage you to use this information kit and other
materials to plan and implement your own events and activities to educate your communities
about lead exposure and lead poisoning prevention.

Information Kit
The NLPPW Information Kit is designed to help communities and federal, state, tribal, and
local governments and organizations ("partners") prepare and promote their own activities or
events. Communities and partners are a vital resource for spreading awareness about NLPPW
and reducing childhood lead exposure.
Support from our federal, state, tribal, and local partners enables messages to reach target
audiences and broaden the range of techniques used to educate communities, families, and
individuals. Because of the many differences between communities, including in their levels of
risk for childhood exposure to lead, a "one-size-fits-all" approach is not effective.
There are many ways children across the nation can be exposed to lead. Children may be
exposed to lead through deteriorating (peeling, chipping, chalking, cracking, damaged, or
damp) lead-based paint or renovations to pre-1978 homes that contain lead-based paint.
Some communities may have lead in their drinking water, or lead-contaminated soil from
exterior lead-based paint, lead deposited in soil near roadways from vehicle exhaust before
lead was banned in gasoline, waste sites, or from other historical lead sources and uses.
Finally, other children may experience take-home lead exposures when adults bring lead into
their homes from workplaces. Of course, communities may also have lead exposure from a
combination of these sources.
Many of these materials can be customized to reach a wide variety of audiences, including
parents, grandparents, caregivers, contractors, trade associations, the media, and others.
Customization allows our partners to select and tailor information to best meet the needs of
their local communities, taking into consideration cultural and other unique factors.

Basic Lead
Poisoning
Information
Lead poisoning or lead toxicity
refers to exposures to lead that
result in illness and require
immediate medical attention. It is
used to describe cases when there
are severe health effects related to
high blood lead levels.
No safe blood lead level in children has been identified. Here are important facts to know
about lead exposure and its potentially harmful effects:
Lead is toxic, especially in young children. When lead is breathed in or swallowed, it
can result in damage to the brain and nervous system, learning and behavior problems,
slow growth and development, and hearing and speech problems,
Lead poisoning is preventable! The key is preventing children from coming into
contact with lead.
Lead can be found inside and outside the home. A common source of exposure is
from deteriorated lead-based paint, which was used inside and outside many homes
built before 1978 and in other buildings and steel structures which may be nearby or
adjacent to homes. Children can be exposed by swallowing or breathing in lead dust
created by old paint that has cracked and chipped, eating paint chips, and chewing on
surfaces coated with lead dust and/or lead-based paint, such as window sills.
Steps can be taken to protect family members from lead-based paint hazards in the
home, such as regularly cleaning with wet or damp sponges or cloths to control dust,
washing children's hands and toys often, and wiping and removing shoes before
entering the home.
If you live in a home built before 1978, a certified inspector or risk assessor can be
hired to check your home for lead-based paint or lead hazards. If renting, ask your
landlord to have your home or apartment tested or give you previous test results.
When doing renovation, repair, or painting jobs in a pre-1978 home, hire a lead-safe
certified contractor who is trained in lead-safe work practices (a group of techniques
to prevent lead exposure resulting from renovation and repair activities). Find a lead-
safe certified contractor at https://cfpub.epa.gov/flpp/pub/index.cfm7dosmain.

Lead may also be found in drinking water. The most common sources of lead in
drinking water are lead pipes, faucets, and fixtures. Use the Protect Your Tap guide
to find out if you have lead pipes in your home.
Lead naturally occurs in soil. However, in many places in the United States, the
amount of lead in soil is significantly higher than naturally occurring levels due to
industrial and human activities. Lead-contaminated soil can become a source of
lead exposure if accidentally ingested when it gets on family members' hands when
playing in the yard, working in soil, gardening, or gets tracked inside.
Other potential sources of lead include toys, painted furniture, metal or plastic jewelry,
items made in other countries and imported into the United States (i.e., health remedies,
foods and candies, cosmetics, powders, or make-up used in religious and cultural
practices), lead-glazed pottery or porcelain, and collectibles that get passed down.
Some children are at greater risk for lead exposure than others, including
those who are:
From low-income families,
Living with adults whose jobs or hobbies involve working with lead,
Members of certain racial-ethnic minority groups,
Recent immigrants, or
Living in poorly maintained homes or apartments built before 1978.
Children and pregnant people may crave nonfood items (a condition known as
"pica") that may contain lead, such as soil, clay, or crushed pottery.
By the
Numbers
About 3.3 MILLION American households with children
under 6YEARS old have lead exposure hazards
including 2.1 MILLION low-income households.
Even relatively low levels of lead exposure can impair a
child's cognitive development. Children with higher blood
lead levels can experience delayed growth and development,
damage to the brain and nervous system, learning and
behavior problems, and other health-related problems. Public
health actions are needed for these children.

Talking Points
'^the
Get the Facts
Many homes built before 1978 have lead-based
paint. Lead from paint, paint chips, and dust can
pose serious health hazards, particularly to children
and pregnant people.
Adults and children can get lead into their bodies
by:
Breathing in lead dust (especially during activities
such as building renovations, repairs, or painting,
or other occupational exposures),
Swallowing lead dust that settles on food, food
preparation surfaces, floors, window sills, and
other places, or
Eating paint chips or soil that contain lead.
The most common sources of lead in drinking
water are lead pipes, faucets, and fixtures.
Lead may also be brought into the home on work
clothes, shoes, and hair.
Get Your Child Tested
A simple blood test can detect lead. Consult your
healthcare provider or local clinic for advice on blood
lead testing.
Act early to get your child tested for lead.
Children's blood lead levels tend to increase from
6 to 12 months of age and tend to peak at 18 to 24
months of age.
Blood lead tests are required for:
Children ages 12 and 24 months who receive
Medicaid and
Children between ages 24 and 72 months who
receive Medicaid with no record of a previous
blood lead test.
Blood lead tests are recommended for:
Children ages 12 and 24 months living in high-risk
areas or who belong to high-risk populations,
Children or other family members who have been
exposed to high levels of lead,
-------
Children who should be tested under your state or local health screening plan, and
Pregnant people who think they may have been exposed to lead.
Talk to your healthcare provider or local clinic about getting a blood lead test.
Ask your healthcare provider to explain the blood lead test results, including how it
compares to the CDC blood lead reference value (BLRV) of 3.5 micrograms per deciliter
(Mg/dL).
The BLRV is the level at which a child has more lead in their blood than do most U.S.
children (97.5% of children ages 1-5 years) and is used as a guide to determine
appropriate follow-up actions and prevent further exposure,
Some of the follow-up services your healthcare provider may recommend could include
finding and removing lead from your child's environment, feeding them a diet high in
iron and calcium, connecting your child to early educational services, and scheduling
follow-up blood testing. If your child has very high blood lead levels, medication may be
recommended to help remove lead from the body.
Get Your Home Tested
If your home was built before 1978, you can get it tested for lead-based paint with:
A lead-based paint inspection that tells you if your home has lead-based paint and
where it is located.
A lead risk assessment that tells you if your home currently has any lead hazards from
lead in paint, dust, or soil and what actions to take to address those hazards.
A combination inspection and risk assessment that tells you if your home has
any lead-based paint or lead hazards and where both are located. Find a certified
lead-based paint inspector or risk assesor at https://cfpub.epa.gov/flpp/pub/index.
cfm?do=main.firmSearchAbatement or call the National Lead Information Center at

Steps to Create Localized Outreach
Creating awareness, organizing, and forming partnerships are the foundation of a successful
NLPPW event, activity, and campaign. You can take three basic steps to engage your
community effectively: (1) form a committee; (2) develop an action plan; and (3) get
organized. By organizing both in-person (where feasible) and virtual activities and events, you
can increase awareness and educate your community about actions they can take to prevent
1. Form a committee.
Create an NLPPW committee or coalition with existing and potential partners, such as:
Public health and safety
officials
Head Start programs
Women, Infants and
Children programs
Health-related programs
Emergency medical
services
Fire department
Agricultural extension
services
Poison control centers
Department of Natural
Resources
Environmental agencies
or departments
Hospitals
Clinics
Urgent care centers
Family medicine or
pediatric practices
Environmental groups
Parent-teacher
associations
Chambers of commerce
Home improvement and
hardware stores
Child care facilities
Schools and early
learning centers
Faith-based, social
justice, and nonprofit
organizations
Once your committee is formed, decide if your activities and events will be in-person and/
or virtual, then map out activities, events, and/or information distribution methods (sites)
appropriate for your local community.
2. Develop an action plan.
Develop an action plan for your outreach efforts tailored to the needs of your local
communities and organizations.
Create a single overarching objective within your action plan by defining the issue and
importance of acting now. Make sure your main message is clear, concise, and relevant.
Define your audience and what change you want to see as a result of your
communication strategy. Determine which materials you want to use for communications
and which languages each of the materials should be translated into. Decide which
communication channels are most appropriate for your message and audience.
Consider using an integrated approach, involving a combination of traditional media
(newspapers, radio, emails) and social media to increase your reach.
8 National Lead Poisoning Prevention Week 2022
-------
Identify additional partners to work with throughout your campaign that will support your
messages. Create or mobilize existing local networks to distribute information.
Consider working with businesses, nonprofits, and government entities related to
home remediation, healthcare providers (especially community health workers),
and educators. Connect with community organizations that work on housing justice,
health equity, and children's rights.
Creatively connect your plan goals to events or movements happening at or around
the same time. Be tactful and transparent in the connection and acknowledge the work
already being done within your community.
A successful action plan does all of the following:
Frames and presents your message so that it catches the attention of your audience
and communicates a clear benefit.
Ensures your message is consistent and unambiguous.
Creates trust by presenting authoritative and reliable information and materials
supported by facts. (We suggest starting with the NLPPW materials and other resources
listed on pages 14-16.)
Includes a call-to-action by asking the audience to do something, such as:
Encouraging parents, grandparents and/or caregivers to get a blood lead test for
higher risk children under the age of 6 and pregnant people who may have been
exposed (making sure to share how to get a blood lead test in your community),
Encouraging homeowners and/or landlords to have certified professionals test
for lead-based paint or lead hazards (making sure to share how to find a certified
professional),
Hiring lead-safe certified professionals to renovate older homes, and
Contacting their local health department or water company to find out about testing
their water for lead.
Gathers data and feedback to establish a baseline for "lessons learned" to help shape
future outreach efforts.
3. Get organized.
Ask local partners to promote NLPPW activities and raise awareness. Use partner newsletters,
emails, media, and mailings to share lead poisoning and lead exposure prevention
information. Here are some actions organizations could take when planning NLPPW activities:
Connect and partner with local stakeholders to identify community-specific needs.
Develop a localized campaign plan and a budget for materials needed.
Secure a venue (or virtual platform) and promote your event.
Promote NLPPW and your activities on social media.
Promote your activities during and after the event.
Identify areas for follow-up after holding your event.

Examples of Awareness Activities
These categories are suggestions and may not capture all the possible organizations that can
participate in NLPPW events, activities, and outreach. In addition, outreach is dynamic, and
there may be many variations.
Grantees, Recipients, Stakeholders, and Other Partners
Send out information about lead poisoning prevention in an email blast, newsletter
article, and/or bulletin.
Host a lead poisoning prevention webinar or workshop featuring lead experts in
coordination with local partners to include presentations and exhibits on lead.
Host a Twitter chat using #NLPPW2022, #LeadFreeKids, and your own specific hashtag.
Before the chat begins, think about the questions you want to ask and ways to keep the
conversation going. You may want to share the questions ahead of time so participants
can prepare some responses in advance.
Host an Instagram or Facebook Live during NLPPW with a community partner. During
an Instagram live, viewers can tune in, ask questions, and leave comments in real-time.
Make sure to coordinate with your partner(s) ahead of time to identify goals, key talking
points, and any questions you want to ask your viewers. Once you start the Instagram
Live, make sure to tap the question mark icon so that questions from viewers appear on
the screen. After your initial broadcast, your Instagram Live will stay on your Instagram
Stories for 24 hours, or save it to Instagram TV (IGTV) so followers can watch it later.
Integrate lead poisoning prevention activities into a related existing community event,
such as a community health fair. Partner with your local health and safety education
programs, such as local chapters of the American Red Cross.
Include lead poisoning prevention activities during events for parents at child care and
early learning centers.
Empower students at high schools, universities, and community colleges to conduct
community service projects and/or encourage these learning institutions to establish
internships related to lead poisoning prevention.
Get creative in raising awareness! This could include fun, easy, and inexpensive
activities like writing messages in chalk on sidewalks at popular parks frequented by
families in your community.
Partner with environmental groups and environmental justice, faith-based, social justice,
and/or nonprofit organizations to host NLPPW events.
10 National Lead Poisoning Prevention Week 2022
-------
Healthcare Providers
Encourage a clinic, healthcare facility, public
health department, or hospital to set aside one
day during NLPPW to provide free blood lead
testing for children under 6 years of age who are
at higher risk for lead exposure.
Provide lead educational materials to local
medical and healthcare providers for their
patients and families.
Invite a local healthcare professional to speak
to your staff about the importance of blood lead
testing or the health effects of lead exposure.
Deliver educational materials to families in
communities with a large number of pre-1978 homes.
Local Leaders
Ask your local elected officials to issue a NLPPW public announcement or proclamation
or issue a press release to your local media.
If you are unsure who your local leaders are or how to contact them, check your state
government website, enter your address, and then contact them directly to ask them
to share information through their networks and platforms.
Invite local elected officials to kick off or speak at your NLPPW events and activities.
Ask state senators and representatives of relevant committees (e.g., Housing Committee,
Public Health Committee, etc.) to share NLPPW information and content with the
communities they serve.
Business Community
Co-host workshops with local businesses, such as home improvement and hardware
stores, on using lead-safe work practices when conducting do-it-yourself (DIY) home
remodeling and renovation projects. You can use EPA's Lead-Safe Renovations for
DIYers page as a resource.
Ask your local chamber of ommerce for help in disseminating lead poisoning prevention
messages through their extensive communications networks, such as meetings and
electronic media.
Ask local businesses to publicize your NLPPW events and activities.
Ask retailers to post event notices and other messaging in their establishments leading
up to and during NLPPW.
Partner with and provide in-kind materials to local businesses, national and local home
improvement stores, remodeling businesses, home inspectors, real estate developers,
and your chamber of commerce to incorporate lead poisoning prevention content into
their communication channels.

Digital Materials
Creating a common visual identity is very important to increase the impact of NLPPW.
The following materials are available to support you in planning and hosting events and
activities in your community. Many of these materials may be customized to include an
organization's logo and information. When creating materials for your communities or
organizations, using the NLPPW icons, flyers, and key messages will tie your local efforts to
the national effort. Adding a web banner to your organization's webpage will also increase
NLPPW visibility.
