Committed to reducing the potential of lead exposure for all children living in Niagara County. Lead is a poison that can affect every system of the child's body. It is particularly harmful to the developing brain, sometimes causing severe developmental delays that may affect the child throughout his or her lifetime. Program goals include assurance that all children ages one and two (and up to age six if at risk) have been tested for lead poisoning, minimizing the risk of childhood lead exposure through educational home visits and environmental referral, if appropriate; providing information on proper medical evaluation and follow up; preventing lead exposure to children before they are harmed; and identifying, controlling, and/or safely removing lead hazards in the child's environment. Services provided include lead testing of uninsured children who require a test; reviewing lead test results; notifying parent or guardian of elevated test results; visiting parent or guardian at home to provide education on care of children with elevated blood lead levels; and if appropriate, referring children to the NCDOH Early Intervention Program for developmental testing.
