The Lead Abatement Resource Center Foundation (LARC Foundation) is an independent, nonprofit organization (501 (c) (3) dedicated to eliminating elevated blood lead levels in children. We do this through education, advocacy, and research on the child, the family, and the community.

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.

Today, we are engaged in a broad lead awareness campaign focused on communities with a known propensity for elevated blood lead levels in children. Our program framework describes the primary sources of lead contamination; offers practical prevention methods, and identifies resources for testing, evaluation, care, and if necessary, remediation.

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

We are evaluating, implementing, advocating, educating, and researching effective solutions to all types of environmental lead hazards through cooperative partnerships with community groups, government agencies, businesses, and individuals.
