Since January 1993, screening of children aged < 6 years for elevated blood lead levels (BLLs) has been mandatory in Rhode Island. Erythrocyte protoporphyrin was eliminated as a method of lead screening in February 1993; since then, all children in the state have been screened for lead poisoning by testing capillary or venous blood samples for lead. From March 1993 through February 1995, results of blood lead tests of 56,379 children aged < 6 years were reported to Rhode Island's lead surveillance system. This report summarizes an analysis of these data by the Rhode Island Department of Health (RIDH) to better characterize the burden of childhood lead poisoning in the state.
自1993年1月起，罗德岛州规定必须对6岁以下儿童进行血铅水平（BLL）筛查。1993年2月，红细胞原卟啉检测不再作为铅筛查方法；从那时起，该州所有儿童均通过检测毛细血管或静脉血样中的铅来筛查铅中毒情况。1993年3月至1995年2月期间，罗德岛州铅监测系统收到了56379名6岁以下儿童的血铅检测结果。本报告总结了罗德岛州卫生部（RIDH）对这些数据的分析，以便更好地了解该州儿童铅中毒的负担情况。
