About Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention Program (CLPPP)

The Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention Program (CLPPP) works to keep families in Imperial County safe by raising awareness about lead, reducing exposure, and helping children get tested for lead poisoning. Lead is still found in some older homes, jobs, hobbies, and products. But the good news is: lead poisoning is 100% preventable. 

The local CLPPP team continues to collaborate with the medical community in the prevention and exposure of lead poisoning in Imperial County. Stay safe and informed by viewing our local lead recalls below.

How can lead harm the body?

Lead is a toxic metal that can harm the body, even in small amounts. It can cause serious health problems, especially in young children, such as:

  • Learning and behavior difficulties
  • Anemia
  • Damage to the brain and other organs

Most children with lead poisoning do not show visible symptoms, which is why it's important to test them to detect it early.
