Conducts investigations of lead poisoning in children.

Contact the Suffolk County Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention Program to find out about home safety tools and recalls on items and toys, especially if your home was built before 1978. Offers community outreach and education about lead poisoning and prevention to health providers and various homes and organizations. Call for all services offered.
