Lead Poison Prevention

Lead poisoning is a silent disease:

• You may not know if your home has lead paint.
• Your child can have lead poisoning and not seem sick.
• Children with lead poisoning may have learning disabilities and behavior problems.
• Serious cases can lead to death.

Get your Child Tested

Beginning in the Fall of 2008, all Iowa children must have proof of a blood lead test before starting kindergarten, or as soon after that as the parents are notified that the child needs a test.
