Abstract
In 2005, the CDC recommended blood lead testing 3 to 6 months after placement in permanent residences for children of refugees aged 6 months to 6 years, in addition to the blood lead testing done soon after arrival in the United States.5 This follow-up testing represents not only an important public health tool for monitoring lead exposure among some groups of newly arrived children, but a potentially rich source of short-term longitudinal data on lead exposure among children who have recently arrived in the United States and who may have been exposed to high levels of lead before immigration.
