Primary prevention strategies that control or eliminate sources of lead before children are exposed remain the preeminent public health approach to address lead poisoning and the only effective way to prevent the neurodevelopmental and behavioral abnormalities associated with lead exposure.
CDC remains committed to supporting state and local efforts to engage pediatric health care providers in identifying and evaluating children who are exposed to lead and providing these children with necessary follow-up services. CDC supports the proven practice of blood lead testing as the best method to screen children for lead exposure.
CDC is committed to achieving the Healthy People objective of eliminating childhood lead exposure as a public health concern and recognizes that this can only be accomplished with the commitment and cooperation of pediatric health care providers. As we chart the path for the future, we will continue to learn from past successes and challenges, incorporate new evidence-based practices and interventions, and work closely with federal, state, local, and nonprofit partners, experts in academia and medicine, and the community to advance the overarching goal of eliminating lead exposure in children.
Primary prevention is the most effective way to prevent lead exposures in young children; however, blood lead screening tests and secondary prevention remain a proven and essential safety net for children exposed to lead. Surveillance plays a central role in helping measure the collective progress of federal, state, and local public health agencies in protecting children from lead, as well as in enhancing our ability to target children at highest risk.
CDC will continue to update and improve its surveillance capabilities and work with state and local programs to do the same. Fundamentals of the approaches currently used to address lead poisoning have, for the most part, remained intact since being delineated decades ago. Although as the evidence base underlying these approaches has evolved, changes have been made to recommendations about how or when interventions are implemented. CDC supports evidence-based approaches by continuing to work with experts to update scientific and practice-based evidence.

Approaches to Blood Lead Screening A central tenet of childhood lead poisoning prevention is that young children at risk for exposure are to be tested for lead. Managing Elevated BLLs in Children Although progress has been made, lead in older homes remains a persistent problem in many aging and neglected communities. Policy development CDC has a well-documented track record in developing and disseminating guidance and recommendations aimed at helping state and local agencies fulfill the mission of identifying and protecting young children from lead exposure and its adverse health effects.
