Need to know more about lead exposure and its various sources? You're not alone. From lead pipes and drinking water to paint, there's a wealth of information available. You are invited to attend the webinar on October 30, 2025, at 7:00 PM CT - "Don't Be Mis-Lead: Pathways to Lead Exposure – Protecting Children, Families & Communities." Free Webinar.

The LARC Foundation will help you get informed, be empowered, and stay safe as we work together to combat childhood lead poisoning.  In children especially, a positive blood lead level results in cognitive impairment and a lifetime of mental and physical health challenges. There is no acceptable level of lead exposure.

By attending this free webinar, you will gain valuable information about:
- Pathways to lead exposure
- Areas and sources of lead
- Testing and guidelines for detection
- Resources for further assistance

The Lead Abatement Resource Center Foundation (LARC Foundation) is an independent nonprofit organization (501c3) dedicated to eliminating positive blood levels in children. LARC does this through education, advocacy, and research on the child, the family, and the community.

IOMC is a collaborative research partner in preventative health, disease prevention, environmental health, and community health management.

IOMC Programmatic Focus - Maternal & Child Health and Pathways to Lead Exposure. More>

The LARC Foundation is engaged in a broad lead awareness campaign focused on communities where there is a known propensity of measured blood lead levels in children.

The LARC “framework,” addresses public health, healthcare, and environmental issues.

You will learn whether you or your children should be tested, and if your water, garden, or home needs an assessment. Share this webinar with others- parents, educators, community leaders, providers, and others.
