American Academy of Pediatrics Policy

American Academy of Pediatrics Policy:

Less than 10 µg/dL not protective enough
No “safe” level except zero
More than 7 IQ points lost if blood lead rises from zero to ten
All children should be tested in first two years
US home lead removal would cost US$28 billion once, and save US$43 billion per year thereafter
