title: Childhood lead poisoning: shifting to primary prevention.
abstract: Childhood lead poisoning remains a serious public health problem for millions of American children. Although adverse health effects related to elevated blood levels have been reported in children from all socioeconomic groups, the prevalence of serious lead poisoning remains highest among poor children in urban areas. The Centers for Disease Control has revised guidelines for intervention with an emphasis on primary prevention.
