Preventing lead poisoning in young children : a statement by the Center for Disease Control, April 1978

  • 12/01/2021




Details:

  • Description:
    The detection and management of children exposed to lead is a rapidly changing field. Since the Surgeon General's statement "Medical Aspects of Childhood Lead Poisoning" (1970) and the subsequent statement by the Center for Disease Control (1975) were issued, considerable new data from clinical, epidemiological, and experimental studies have become available. These data have improved upon our knowledge of the extent of lead exposure, its sources, and the requirements for prompt and reliable identification and management of children at risk. The CDC recognizes that there will doubtless be further development in this field which may alter or redefine our current understanding.
