These children are exposed to more lead than most children. This reference value is based on the 97.5th percentile of the 2007-2010 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey's (NHANES) blood lead distribution in children. CDC will update the reference value every four years using the two most recent NHANES surveys. Until recently, children were identified as having a blood lead "level of concern" if the test result was 10 or more ?g/dL of lead in blood. CDC is no longer using the term "level of concern" and is instead using the reference value to identify children with elevated blood lead levels. Lead provides no known biological benefit to humans. Lead can produce adverse effects on virtually every system in the body; it can damage the kidneys, the nervous system, the reproductive system, and cause high blood pressure. It is especially harmful to the developing brains of fetuses and young children. There may be no lower threshold for some of the adverse effects of lead in children. In addition, the harm that lead causes to children increases as their blood lead levels increase. The CDC Advisory Committee on Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention recommends that communities, parents and health care providers undertake activities that control or eliminate lead in children's environments before they are exposed. That for children with blood lead levels 5-10 ug/dL the test is repeated within 3 months and parents receive information about how to prevent lead exposure. For children with blood lead levels at or above the jurisdiction's definition of a 'case', lead inspection and reduction of lead hazards should be undertaken (this is a resource driven decision). The new guidelines do not change existing recommendations for follow up of children with blood lead levels >=20 ug/dL. A question and answer period will follow the formal presentation. Course Objectives: ? Understand blood lead tests and the CDC reference value for blood lead in children less than 6 years old ? Discuss adverse health effects of lead ? Discuss recommended retest and followup levels ? Provide information on lead exposure prevention [cid:image002.png at 01CE6689.870D94D0]About the Presenter: Mary Jean Brown is Chief of the Healthy Homes and Lead Poisoning Prevention Branch at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and an Adjunct Assistant Professor of Society, Human Development and Health at the Harvard School of Public Health. Dr. Brown has spent more than 25 years working on childhood lead poisoning and its prevention. She conducted research designed to evaluate the impact of home visiting on the blood and environmental lead levels, a benefit-cost analysis of removing lead paint from housing before children are lead poisoned and a study of the effect of housing policies on the blood lead levels of poisoned children. She has also studied community-level housing factors that predict risk for nonfatal pediatric injuries. Overtime she has become more and more convinced that housing has a substantial impact on health and that the health of residents should be considered is housing constructed, maintained and renovated. Dr. Brown has been involved in a number of cases where lead hazards in housing units with lead poisoned children were addressed only to later have the children die or suffer serious injury in house fires, when ceilings collapsed, when burned by steam heating pipes, or as a result of carbon monoxide poisoning. Dr. Brown received a Doctor of Science (Sc.D.) degree from the Harvard School of Public Health. She is also a registered nurse (R.N.) with a Bachelor of science degree from Boston College.

We are looking for a highly analytical public health professional with excellent communication skills to develop a statewide assessment and public health adaptation plan for Oregon. This person will work closely with internal and external partners to inventory existing datasets and develop an assessment plan to quantify the health impacts of climate change. This person will also be responsible for identifying vulnerable populations, which will include the creation of a climate vulnerability index. The ideal candidate will have experience working with multiple sectors outside of public health, thrive in developmental projects, and work well in a team setting. Though this position requires many of the same skills that many epidemiologists have, it is not typical epidemiological work. This program is funded through the CDC's Climate Ready States and Cities Initiative. Please pass on to partners and others you think might be interested. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

In this webinar, we focus primarily on the association of fine particulate matter (PM2.5) with adverse birth outcomes. We demonstrate how the association between total PM2.5 and birth outcomes can vary by state. One possible explanation for this variation is that the specific PM2.5 components differ by region. We discuss some of our preliminary findings and implications of the associations between PM2.5 component species and adverse birth outcomes. **Coming soon to our Academic Partners of Excellence Series** * Tuesday, 7/23/13, 1:00-2:00 p.m. EST Evelyn Talbott, PhD, University of Pittsburgh Graduate School of Public Health Ecological and Case Control Study of Ambient Air levels and Childhood Blood Lead Levels Linkage Study of Air Quality PM2.5 and Cardiovascular Effects Data from the Tracking Network * Tuesday, 8/6/13, 3:30-4:30 p.m. EST Yang Liu, PhD, Emory University Rollins School of Public Health Rish Vaidyanathan, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Assessment of remotely sensed PM2.5 estimates for the Tracking Network For further information about this Webinar, please contact Erika Rees (uyr8 at cdc.gov). -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
