Information
Agenda Item Text:
Approve IGA between the Arizona Department of Health Services and Cochise County Health and Social Services regarding Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention Services project, in the annual amount of $25,000, effective February 1, 2019 through January 31, 2024.
Background:
Lead is a naturally occurring heavy metal, but most high levels in the environment that people are exposed to come from human activities. When ingested or inhaled, lead is highly toxic and exerts irreversible effects on nearly every organ system. Children under the age of six (6) years are especially at risk because they are still developing, have a tendency to put objects and their hands in their mouth, and absorb lead easily. Children can experience lifelong learning, behavioral and developmental problems. While lead poisoning is one hundred percent (100%) preventable, there was still an average of four hundred (400) unique children identified with EBLLs above the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reference value of 5μg/dL per year between 2011 and 2016 in Arizona.
Department's Next Steps (if approved):
Your approval is respectfully requested.
Impact of NOT Approving/Alternatives:
CHSS will be limited in its ability to build capacity to implement lead poisoning prevention activities and increase blood lead testing of children living in high-risk areas of the county.
