🏡 Was your home built before 1978?

Older homes can contain lead-based paint, and when that paint deteriorates, it can create lead hazards for you and your family.

Peeling paint, chipping window frames, and deteriorating painted surfaces are signs to take seriously. Lead exposure is especially dangerous for young children, even when they don’t look or feel sick.

💚 Concerned about your home? Contact LeadSafe MN to learn more about an in-home assessment.

Let’s work together to create safer, healthier homes in our community!

October is National Lead Poisoning Prevention Month 💚

Lead exposure can happen in places we don’t always see — like household dust, old paint, soil, and some everyday products. Young children are especially vulnerable, and even small amounts of lead can affect their health and development.

The good news? Lead poisoning is preventable.

This month, we’re sharing simple ways families can reduce lead exposure and create safer, healthier homes:

🏠 Keep floors, windowsills, and surfaces clean
🧸 Wash toys regularly
🧼 Use a damp mop or cloth to help control dust
🔎 Check your home for lead hazards, especially if it was built before 1978
🩸 Talk with your child’s healthcare provider about lead testing

Through ESNDC’s LeadSafe Program, we’re here to help East Side families learn about lead hazards and take steps toward safer homes.

Healthy children. Stronger communities. Lead-free futures.

📞 Want to learn more or schedule a free, no-cost in-home visual assessment? Call 651-288-8751.

Why are children under age 6 especially vulnerable to lead? 🧠👶🏽

Little bodies are still growing, and young children are more vulnerable to the effects of lead exposure. Their developing brains and bodies are especially sensitive, and their natural hand-to-mouth behavior can increase the chance of coming into contact with lead in dust, soil, paint, and other surfaces.

That’s why lead prevention matters for every young child. 💚

If lead is present in your home or soil above EPA standards, here's how to keep your family safe: 🏠

✅ Get your children tested for lead
✅ Renters: ask your landlord to remove lead hazards from your home
✅ Homeowners: contact a certified lead abatement specialist to address the issue
✅ Clean floors, window frames, and sills regularly with warm water and an all-purpose cleaner (never mix ammonia and bleach — it creates a dangerous gas)
✅ Wash kids' hands and toys often, especially before eating and sleeping
✅ Leave shoes at the door
✅ Cover bare soil with grass, mulch, or wood chips, and keep kids from playing in soil that may be contaminated

Small steps add up to a safer home. Learn more about EPA standards and lead in soil — links in comments. 🔗

East Side neighbors — this one's for you and your family!

On Wednesday, October 28, Ramsey County is bringing a free Lead Testing and Community Resource Fair to Phalen Recreation Center, 4–7pm. It's simple: get tested, bring items from home to check for lead, and talk with local orgs about keeping your household safe.

Got imported spices, pottery, or toys lying around? Bring them along — testing is quick and results are immediate.

This is part of National Lead Poisoning Prevention Week (Oct. 25–31), and we want to see the East Side show up strong. See you there!

Fact: Lead exposure can cause lifelong health problems. ⚠️

It affects several body systems — including the brain, nervous system, and reproductive health — and can lead to:
🧠 Developmental and growth delays
👂 Hearing and speech problems
📚 Difficulty learning and paying attention
❤️ Serious illness, and in extreme cases, death

The good news? Lead poisoning is preventable, and early testing makes all the difference. If your child hasn't been tested yet, now's the time to ask your provider.

Lead exposure can affect any child.

Regardless of race, income, birthplace, or family occupation, lead exposure is a risk that can cross every community. That’s why lead awareness and prevention matter for every family—not just some.

Talk to your child’s healthcare provider about their individual risk factors and whether a blood lead test makes sense. It’s one quick finger poke, and it’s the only way to know for sure.

🏠 Want to learn more about lead risks in your home?

🩺 Has your child ever been tested for lead?

Lead exposure doesn’t always come with obvious signs. A child can look healthy, feel fine, and still have lead in their body.

That’s why lead screening is so important—especially for young children who may be exposed through dust, paint, soil, or other everyday sources.

Not sure if your child should be tested? Talk with us about lead screening and learn how you can protect your child. 💚

📩 Reach out to LeadSafe MN with your questions or to learn about available screening resources.
