† The 2000 population of children 6 years of age and younger is based on 2000 census data.

The information contained in this report is compiled by the Illinois Department of Public Health’s Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention Program. Elevated blood lead levels (>10 mcg/dL) are reported by laboratories, physicians, hospitals and other health care providers. Non-elevated results (< 10 mcg/dL) are reported by laboratories. Results on all children 15 years old or younger are included in this report. The vast majority of tests (92 percent) are performed on children 6 years old or younger. The total number of children screened in the activity summary boxes and total tested column for 2004 and 2005 are the actual numbers reported to the Department. These numbers include children tested for the first time, as well as those being retested. Where a child has multiple tests, the highest venous result is selected. If there is no venous test, the highest capillary result is selected.

Illinois law requires that results of all blood lead tests be reported to the Illinois Department of Public Health's Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention Program by the directors of laboratories performing the analyses. Blood lead levels greater than or equal to 10 mcg/dL also must be reported by physicians, hospital administrators, local health department administrators and directors of laboratories that do not perform blood lead analyses. In either case, results must be reported to the Department's Childhood Lead Poisoning Reporting System at 217-782-3517 or 866-909-3572. For more information about lead poisoning sources and prevention, call the Illinois Lead Program at 866-909-3572 or 217-782-3517. The hearing impaired can reach both programs by dialing 800-547-0466.
