Lead poisoning is a preventable environmental health hazard.

Any ideas about what we as nurses can do to prevent the tragic consequences of lead poisoning in children?

education would be a key element in alerting people to lead poisoning...during a health fair event one could do a postewr board with handouts...go into the school system if permited to educate the children during a health awareness day...
