The experience of the Charleston Program for Lead Poisoning Detection in the years 1972-1975 and the South Carolina Childhood Lead Poisoning Control Program in the last year has demonstrated that lead poisoning is a problem of epidemic proportions in the Charleston Area and may be a serious problem in the older sections of the cities in other areas of this state. The purpose of this communication is to inform physicians of South Carolina about the activities and resources of this screening program.
