Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention Program (CLPPP)

 

"Even small amounts of lead can harm a child’s health. Ask your child’s doctor about a blood lead test". (2022 Campaign Message)

About Us

The Ventura County Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention Program (CLPPP) provides services to the community for the purpose of increasing awareness regarding the hazards of lead exposure, reducing lead exposure, and increasing the number of children assessed and appropriately blood tested for lead poisoning.
