Environmental Public Health Tracking: Lead Poisoning Data

When lead enters the body, it is toxic and at high enough levels, it can cause lead poisoning. We monitor lead poisoning data because it is a preventable threat to adults and children. By tracking the patterns for lead poisoning, professionals can better target resources and prevention strategies.
