It also provides funding for local childhood lead poisoning prevention activities to 13 local health departments in target areas of the state.

    Division of Environmental and Occupational Health Services: The Division's public health practitioners set policy on protecting the public (with emphasis on children) from hazards associated with environmental exposures. The Division also conducts aggressive year-round oversight of the private sector industries which service children's need for food, potable water, quality indoor air, youth camp safety and recreational bathing.
