Childhood Lead Poisoning: Prevalence by Town and Blood Lead Level Category

As of January 1, 2009, Connecticut law mandates that medical providers must conduct annual lead screening (i.e., blood lead testing) for each child 9 to 35 months of age. Furthermore, the law requires that any child between 36-72 months of age who has not been previously tested must also be tested by the child’s medical provider, regardless of risk.

This dataset includes data on the prevalence by town and blood lead level category.

自2009年1月1日起，康涅狄格州法律规定，医疗提供者必须为9至35个月大的儿童进行年度铅筛查（即血液铅水平检测）。此外，该法律还规定，对于36至72个月大的儿童，无论风险如何，若其之前未进行过检测，医疗提供者亦应为其进行检测。本数据集包含按城镇和血液铅水平类别划分的流行病学数据。
