Exposure to lead can seriously harm a child's health and is more harmful to children that are less than six years of age because their bodies are still developing and growing rapidly. In August 2023, RSMo 701.340-349 was updated to simplify lead testing schedules. Please review Department of Health & Senior Services (DHSS) Childhood Lead Testing Modernization. A new, simplified testing schedule is outlined within the document. Visit Health.mo.gov for more information.
