Lead poisoning in children or adults can occur when an individual breathes, drinks or eats too much lead. People with lead poisoning can have learning, behavior and health problems.
Fillmore County Public Health provides blood lead testing for qualifying pregnant women and children. The department also provides education and resources regarding lead prevention and removal.
More information about lead is available from the Minnesota Department of Health.
