Lead

Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention Program (CLPPP) staff investigate cases of lead poisoning when blood testing reveals that a child living in Fresno County has an elevated level of lead in their blood. Specially trained and certified Environmental Health staff conduct lead investigations in the child's home to investigate for possible environmental sources of lead such as contaminated soil, lead dust, peeling or chipping leaded paint, home remedies, and leaded pottery. These CLPPP investigations are conducted jointly with Public Health Nursing staff.

Mobile Home Parks

The State of California Department of Housing and Community Development, Codes and Standards Division enforces the Mobile Home Parks act in Fresno County.
