🌎 September 26 is World Environmental Health Day!

This year's theme, "Environmental Health: Standing with Science to Protect Communities," highlights the important role science plays in protecting the health of our communities.

At NvCLPPP, we see that connection every day. From identifying potential lead hazards to supporting families and working with our public health partners, science helps inform our efforts to prevent childhood lead poisoning across Nevada.

In recognition of World Environmental Health Day, we're sharing a few of our favorite moments from the field, community events, and everything in between!

Here's to the people who put environmental health into action. 💚

And a 🌟big🌟 shoutout to our creative partners at for helping bring this campaign to life and getting these important messages out across Nevada! 💚

⚠️ Lead Recall Alert⚠️
The Lontcs Busy Board toys are being recalled because the toys’ zipper contains levels of lead that exceed the standard set in the federal lead paint ban. The toys consist of a wood board and metal handle with multiple attached components, including a brown zipper, metal latch, caster wheel, doorbell, lock with keys, music box, duck puzzle, abacus, and fidget spinner.
The recalled product was sold online at Amazon from May 2024 through July 2026 for about $31.

💡 Why it Matters:
Lead is toxic and can be especially harmful to young children. Even low levels of lead can affect a child’s growth, learning, and development. Most children with lead poisoning do not look or act sick. Parents and caregivers should take the recommended steps to prevent further exposure.

What You Can Do:
✅ STOP using the recalled product immediately.
📞 Contact SQT for a full refund.
↩️ Destroy the toy by unscrewing its components, mark the board “RECALLED,” and dispose of the product after sending a photo to SQT.
🗣️ Tell others – share this information with family, friends, colleagues, and community partners.
🩺 Contact your healthcare provider if you are concerned about potential lead exposure.

🚨 Now Available: Nevada’s 2024-2025 Blood Lead Surveillance Report!

Our latest annual report provides a detailed analysis of blood lead testing data for children under six years old across Nevada. Covering the period from October 1, 2024 through September 30, 2025 , it highlights state and county-level trends to identify where and how children may be exposed to lead. 🔍

This data helps guide efforts to improve Nevada’s low testing rates and expand access to lead-safe resources for families statewide. 💡

This summer, we had the pleasure of having Isaiah join the NvCLPPP team as one our public health interns! 🌍

During his internship, Isaiah supported our health communication efforts by exploring geophagia, or the practice of consuming clay, as a potential source of lead exposure in Ghana. 🪨 Through is work, he developed and presented educational content on how heavy metals in clay may contribute to exposure when consumed, helping bring attention to an important global and environmental health topic.

Isaiah will be graduating with an MPH in Global and Environmental Health at UNLV in December and continuing his efforts in public health. We are so thankful for the time and contributions Isaiah shared with our team, and for his dedication to advancing global and environmental health. We wish him the very best in what comes next and look forward to seeing all that he accomplishes! 🎉

When handling or using fi****ms with lead-containing ammunition, lead dust and residue can be inhaled, ingested, or come into contact with your skin and clothing. If you or someone in your household uses fi****ms with lead-containing ammunition, you can take preventative actions to reduce lead exposure and help keep your home lead-safe.

As our summer internships wrap up, we’re excited to highlight Maria and the work she contributed to NvCLPPP! 🎉

This summer, Maria supported our health communication efforts by exploring lead exposure in baby formula and baby foods. 🍼 During her internship, she developed and presented educational content to help translate this important public health topic into accessible information for families and communities.

Maria will be graduating with an MPH in Social and Behavioral Health at UNLV in December and continuing her work in public health. We are so grateful for Maria’s contributions to our team, and also so proud of her growth as a public health professional and advocate for maternal and child health! We wish her all the best in this next chapter and can’t wait to see what she accomplishes next! 💙

Did you know that infants can be exposed to lead through breastfeeding?

🍼 Lead can contaminate breast milk when a parent has experienced lead exposure. This can stem from recent activities—such as workplace hazards, hobbies, or home renovations—or past exposure, as stored lead in bones can be released during pregnancy and lactation.

💜 Most parents can safely continue to breastfeed even with trace amounts of lead in their system. Healthcare providers should monitor parent and infant health with routine blood lead testing.

🔍 Guidance on breast milk safety and lead levels:
If blood lead levels reach or exceed 40 micrograms per deciliter, providers should advise pumping and discarding milk until levels decrease.
Testing breast milk directly for lead is not recommended.
