Description:
On January 13, 2017, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) lowered the threshold of lead in young children's blood that triggers interventions to evaluate and control exposure hazards from 20 μg/dL to 5 μg/dL, matching the reference level used by CDC (1). The rule includes a process to continue HUD alignment with any future updates to CDC's reference level (1).
