The LEAPP Act would codify the Task Force to facilitate highlevel federal coordination for initiatives that improve childrens environmental health. including lead poisoning prevention and abatement. While exposure to lead paint remains a primary hazard. other sources for lead poisoning are imported products with high levels of lead and traditional medications that contain lead. The LEAAP Act would authorize the Office of Minority Health and the Office of Refugee Resettlement to engage in communitybased partnerships to increase culturally appropriate education and outreach campaigns to reduce lead hazard exposure. Since lead accumulates in bones. many pregnant women may unknowingly have elevated blood lead levels. which may be passed to their children or cause toxic effects on their own organs. Through identifying and screening women during pregnancy. we can work to improve the health of the mother. her child. and the overall family.
