Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention Program

This program works to protect the health and cognitive development of children and adults living in Florida by preventing exposure to all lead hazards.

Children can develop lead poisoning from exposure to lead in paint chips, dust, and soil. Small paint chips may be swallowed when children chew on lead painted objects. Dust and soil containing lead can get on children’s hands and toys and be swallowed as they play.
