The program is responsible for ensuring blood lead testing and reporting, enhancing blood lead surveillance, improving linkages to recommended services and developing policies for targeted, population-based interventions with a focus on community-based approaches for lead hazard elimination. CCLPPP responsibilities include sustaining a statewide Lead Advisory Committee, maintaining a blood lead surveillance system that tracks all blood lead test results and follow-up data on children with elevated blood lead levels including environmental source investigations and referrals to recommended services, conducting analyses of surveillance data to identify lead exposed children, high-risk populations, and geographic areas, and partnering with programs and organizations that provide services to mitigate the effects of elevated blood lead levels.
