Lead Week 2023

During each day of Lead Poisoning Prevention Week, we ask our partners to help raise awareness among parents and care providers by sharing infographics, links, and relevant information about lead poisoning prevention. Please help share our resources on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.

Use the hashtags #LeadFreeKids, #LeadFreeNV, #NvCLPPP, and #NLPPW2023

Every day millions of Americans come in contact with lead-containing or lead-contaminated items. Lead can cause serious health effects in young children, pregnant people, and adults. Infants and young children are especially vulnerable to the effects of lead poisoning on their developing bodies. Lead poisoning is entirely preventable! Please help spread the word.

How to Get Involved

1. Let us know if you or your organization is participating in Lead Week!

Yes, I am participating!

2. Use our sample social media posts to spread the word about lead poisoning prevention on your social media accounts between October 22-28.
