Lead Poisoing Prevention: UPHE is stiving to raise awareness of the necessity of having children tested for lead poisoning at ages 1 and 2. UPHE has recently worked with the Utah Lead Coalition to decrease the definition of elevated blood lead reflecting the CDCs recommendation of greater than or equal to 5 micrograms per deciliter, a huge step in helping limit the impact of lead poisoning in Utah. UPHE is working with Salt Lake Countys Lead Safe Housing program to help decrease the impact of lead poisoning on Utah children by offering free lead testing and free home lead remediation to qualifying families.
