The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) identifies lead poisoning as the principal environmental
health problem-affecting children in the United States and emphasizes that this is a problem,which is
entirely preventable. In Contra Costae County, 60% of the housing units were built before 1978, the
year lead paint was banned by the Consumer Product Safety Commission. Lead paint is a
recognized source of lead poisoning in children. Over 800 lead poisoned children have been
identified in Contra Costa County, and more are likely to be poisoned but have not been tested. This
Project is the sole source of fundingifor case management and follow-up to children identified as
lead poisoned. The goal of the project is to decrease the exposure of children to lead and the
incidence of increased childhood blood lead levels.
Three certified and sealed copies of this Board Order should be returned to the Health Services
