Blood lead levels from Samples taken by the Michigan Department of Community Health. The MDCH does both intervenous and capillary blood lead level testing on children under 6 and produces reports by Zip Code and community. The older standard considered 10 microGrams per deciLiter the elevated level threshold. The current standard considers 5 uG/dL and higher to be elevated.

This is historical data. The update frequency has been set to "Static Data" and is here for historic value. Updated on 8/14/2024 Children with Elevated Blood Lead Levels - "Lead is a toxic metal that has no safe level. Children are especially sensitive to lead exposure. The legal definition of an elevated blood lead level in Maryland is 10 micrograms/deciliter (mcg/dL), but the current CDC and Maryland guidelines for health care providers urge follow up for any child with a level of 5 mcg/dL or higher. Children most often are exposed to lead if they swallow dust containing lead paint, usually when there is peeling, flaking, or chipping lead paint or from home renovation. Maryland health care providers are now supposed to test all children born on or after January 1, 2015 at their 12 and 24 month well child visits. Link to Data Details "
