Poisoning Prevention

Deleading is a dangerous process which, if improperly done, can result in acute lead intoxication. The following case report illustrates what happened to an already-lead-poisoned child's lead level when he was not excluded from his apartment during deleading. Supportive evidence is provided from 12 additional cases recently seen by the same pediatric practice. The issues behind the failure of these families to vacate their apartments during deleading are discussed, and the need for lead-poisoning prevention programs to address these issues, particularly that of providing alternative shelter during deleading, is stressed. Society should adequately fund such programs so that they become a reality.

Drs Gellert and Wagner have made some excellent points regarding the need to devise specific, local, lead poisoning prevention programs. Although the Letters to the Editor sections of journals are not the proper forum in which to devise such programs, several general comments should be made. The Committee on Environmental Health carefully drafted its statement on childhood lead poisoning prevention to allow and encourage reasoned and reasonable discussion of screening strategies. The term "universal screening" is intentionally not used in the statement.
