Healthy Homes and Lead Poisoning Prevention - Information for Medical Providers

The mission of the Office of Lead Poisoning Prevention (OLPP) is to protect the health of Delawareans by preventing childhood lead poisoning and promoting health among children (0 – 6 years of age) through education, safe environments, screening and early intervention.

OLPP accomplishes this mission by:

  • Increasing public awareness of the dangers of lead poisoning
  • Preventing/controlling lead hazards before exposure occurs
  • Universal screening of pre-school children
  • Case management, education and/or environmental investigation for children found lead poisoned.
