The mission of the Lead Prevention Program is to screen children for elevated lead levels and to ensure the removal of lead hazards in accordance with the Connecticut State Statutes, Federal Regulations, and Local ordinances. We accomplish this mission through inspections, lead abatements and education. We work to reduce incidents of elevated blood lead levels through timely testing, screenings, case management, and testing. We work to educate property owners, parents & families and the general public about the dangers of lead exposure through educational sessions in a variety of public venues.
