  • A simple blood lead test is the only way to know if your child has been exposed to lead. Lead is an invisible threat that is found throughout our environment and in homes built before 1978. Blood lead testing is particularly important for young children because exposure to lead early in life has been shown to cause problems with learning, behavior, hearing, and growth. Early diagnosis and intervention can help prevent serious health effects and improve developmental outcomes.
