What we do Staff conducts environmental monitoring and educational outreach to reduce lead exposure among Washington's children. How we do it Staff at the request of local health jurisdictions conducts environmental sampling when children are reported to have elevated blood lead levels above 15. The program assists local health jurisdictions by providing recommendations for appropriate intervention strategies, training, and educational outreach support.
Staff conducts education outreach through pamphlets, brochures, fact sheets, and training sessions.
For health providers, we offer guidelines to assist in caring for children with elevated blood lead levels. These guidelines can be found in our Medical Management of Children with Elevated Blood Lead Levels.
