Details

The aims of the Lead Exposure in Children Surveillance System (LEICSS) are to identify cases of children resident in England with elevated blood lead concentrations, to initiate timely public health action for individual cases, and to inform public health interventions to prevent further exposures.

Previous annual reports, and other LEICSS-related reports, were published by Public Health England (PHE).

LEICSS is a component of the environmental public health surveillance system (EPHSS), part of the UK Health Security Agency’s (UKHSA) environmental public health tracking (EPHT) arrangements.
