Preventing newborns from lead exposure

Your baby may be at risk for lead poisoning. Let us work with you to check your home for lead and reduce lead hazards, if needed, to protect your baby. High lead levels in a child’s blood can cause:

• physical defects
• a short attention span
• problems learning to read
• failing in school
• acting up and fighting
  

Reducing the lead hazards in your home is good for your baby now and in later years.
