Definitions:
The number calculated are for children 0-60 months old and are for 3 consequtive years periods because of the small numbers.

The blood lead level is measured in ug/dL, which stands for micrograms per deciliter. This measurement is done by a technician and is then reported back to the childhood lead poisoning prevention program. These levels have been aggregated to the categories as seen on the module. Levels greater than 20 require a visit from an environmental health inspector. >= 10 ug/dl is the level of concern specified by the CDC for Childhood Lead Poisoning. >= 20 ug/dl is the action level specified by the CDC for environmental site investigation. (Note: An environmental site inspection must also be done if there is a case where 2 blood level tests result in levels between 15 and 19 ug/dl (inclusive) on samples taken at least 3 months apart.)
