VDH Needs Your Help to Keep Kids Lead-free | |
Virginia Department of Health seeks your help in sharing information about lead poisoning with your congregation.
Childhood lead poisoning is considered the most preventable environmental disease among young children, but thousands are impacted by lead exposure every year. You can’t see lead in the home, and most kids don’t show any signs that they are sick. Encourage your congregation to keep an eye out for possible sources of lead in their homes and safely remove them.
Visit the Virginia Department of Health Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention Program website for more information on how to be lead safe.
