Every Child
Safe From Lead

Harmful lead exposure can happen to any child, but it is 100% preventable. Connecticut’s Department of Public Health is investing in our communities so every child can grow up safe from lead.

We’re removing lead paint hazards from homes, promoting screening and testing of children and pregnant persons, and identifying and educating Connecticut residents about service lines that may contain lead.

Lead Risks

Lead is commonly found in homes built before 1978. Every year, more than 1000 young children in Connecticut are affected by lead exposure. We want all Connecticut children to grow up safe from lead.

The Connecticut Department of Public Health is working in every community to create a lead-free future for our state.
