Welcome to the Lead Poisoning Prevention Program

Protecting children from lead is important for their lifelong good health. Even low levels of blood lead have been shown to affect children’s physical and cognitive development. Fortunately, lead poisoning is entirely preventable.

Learn about our lead initiatives here!

We can prevent lead exposure before it occurs by addressing lead at its source – old housing in poor repair. We help ensure a healthy foundation for our children by testing for lead and identifying at-risk children early. The Onondaga County Lead Poisoning Prevention Program works to:

Educate the community about lead poisoning prevention
Provide information in languages other than English
Identify homes with lead based paint before children are harmed
Ensure property owners complete needed repairs
Provide follow-up services for children with lead poisoning
Promote enrollment in grants and other home repair loan programs

We all have a role in helping to improve the health and safety of our homes and community. The links below provide information for:
