With this study, Quest Diagnostics seeks to bolster incomplete national data on childhood lead exposure and investigate the individual- and community-level factors associated with blood lead levels (BLLs) in children.

Key Points: 
  • With this study, Quest Diagnostics seeks to bolster incomplete national data on childhood lead exposure and investigate the individual- and community-level factors associated with blood lead levels (BLLs) in children.
  • Still, the new Quest analysis reveals that the majority of American children have been exposed to lead, despite decades of public policies to reduce lead poisoning.
  • "Our Quest analysis finds that while exposure to the highest levels of lead has declined in recent years, most American children are exposed to lead, a substance that is not safe for children at any level.
