TL;DR
Lead exposure cases reported to NPDS in early childhood declined overall from 2007 to 2020 but have been increasing since 2020, while among patients followed to a known medical outcome, few cases reported to poison centers experienced severe outcomes.
Blood lead testing rates changed little over time, whereas BLLs ≥3.5 μg/dL declined, and a clinically important number of children continued to have elevated levels, but ongoing strategic prevention efforts remain important to reduce childhood lead exposure in Southern California.

BACKGROUND
Early-life environmental lead exposure can adversely impact the development of the immune system and increase the susceptibility to infectious respiratory illnesses, but evidence regarding childhood respiratory outcomes remains inconclusive.
OBJECTIVE
To examine the association between childhood blood lead...

BACKGROUND
Exposures to human pathogens and toxins in licensed facilities in Canada have been monitored by a federal surveillance system since 2015, yet the affected persons (APs) in these incidents remain uncharacterized. This study comprehensively describes APs, highlighting sector-specific patterns and trends over t...

Abstract Childhood lead exposure causes irreversible neurodevelopmental harm, and no safe blood lead level in children has been identified. Measured childhood blood lead is collected unevenly across the United States, and many areas publish no neighborhood‐level surveillance, so the children at highest risk are often t...
Widespread low-level exposure at both sites supports sustained facility-level surveillance and alignment of Mexico’s regulatory criterion with current reference values.
