Fulton County Public Health operates a lead testing clinic once a month at our office for those children with no insurance. The majority of children; however, receive a prescription from their family physician and have the test done at a local hospital laboratory. The tests are provided to all children age 6 months up to 6 years of age. The results are sent to Fulton County Public Health for follow-up and risk reduction education.
The Residential Lead Inspection unit is responsible for conducting environmental lead assessments at residential housing units. Assessments are done at homes that have children with elevated blood lead levels. Program issues "Notice of Demand" to remediate lead problems within these homes. Residential lead inspections are also done on a "request" basis as a fee-based service.
