The Alliance continues to work on the primary prevention of lead poisoning, and yes, lead poisoning persists as a significant problem in the United States. Despite the incredible decline of childhood lead poisoning since the 1970s – in part due to the Alliance’s work – currently at least 310,000 children suffer from lead poisoning every year in the United States. Adults also suffer from lead poisoning, though in smaller numbers.
