Section 641.67.1. Purpose.

Latest version.

The purpose of the blood lead testing requirement is to improve the health of Iowa’s children. Blood lead testing will facilitate early detection and referral for treatment of lead poisoning; reduce the incidence, impact, and cost of lead poisoning; inform parents and guardians of their children’s exposure to lead; promote the importance of reducing exposure to lead as an integral component of preparation for school and learning; and contribute to statewide surveillance of childhood lead poisoning.
