</b>In 2012, CDC defined a reference level of 5 micrograms per deciliter (µg/dL) to identify children with elevated blood lead levels. These children are exposed to more lead than most children. This reference value is based on the 97.5th percentile of the
2007-2010 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey’s (NHANES) blood lead distribution in children. CDC will update the reference value every four years using the two most recent NHANES surveys. Until recently, children were identified as having a
blood lead “level of concern” if the test result was 10 or more µg/dL of lead in blood. CDC is no longer using the term “level of concern” and is instead using the reference value to identify children with elevated blood lead levels.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">Lead provides no known biological benefit to humans. Lead can produce adverse effects on virtually every system in the body; it can damage the
kidneys, the nervous system, the reproductive system, and cause high blood pressure. It is especially harmful to the developing brains of fetuses and young children. There may be no lower threshold for some of the adverse effects of lead in children. In addition,
the harm that lead causes to children increases as their blood lead levels increase.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif""> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">The CDC Advisory Committee on Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention recommends that communities, parents and health care providers undertake activities
that control or eliminate lead in children’s environments before they are exposed. That for children with blood lead levels 5-10 ug/dL the test is repeated within 3 months and parents receive information about how to prevent lead exposure. For children with
blood lead levels at or above the jurisdiction’s definition of a ‘case’, lead inspection and reduction of lead hazards should be undertaken (this is a resource driven decision). The new guidelines do not change existing recommendations for follow up of children
with blood lead levels >=20 ug/dL.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

the Presenter:</span></b><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif""> Mary Jean Brown is Chief of the Healthy Homes and Lead Poisoning Prevention Branch at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and an Adjunct Assistant Professor
of Society, Human Development and Health at the Harvard School of Public Health.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">Dr. Brown has spent more than 25 years working on childhood lead poisoning and its prevention. She conducted research designed to evaluate the impact of home visiting on
the blood and environmental lead levels, a benefit-cost analysis of removing lead paint from housing before children are lead poisoned and a study of the effect of housing policies on the blood lead levels of poisoned children. She has also studied community-level
housing factors that predict risk for nonfatal pediatric injuries. Overtime she has become more and more convinced that housing has a substantial impact on health and that the health of residents should be considered is housing constructed, maintained and
renovated. Dr. Brown has been involved in a number of cases where lead hazards in housing units with lead poisoned children were addressed only to later have the children die or suffer serious injury in house fires, when ceilings collapsed, when burned by
steam heating pipes, or as a result of carbon monoxide poisoning. Dr. Brown received a Doctor of Science (Sc.D.) degree from the Harvard School of Public Health. She is also a registered nurse (R.N.) with a Bachelor of science degree from Boston College.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
