As part of an ongoing commitment to improving outcomes for children and families affected by lead, the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS) is introducing two new programs in communities with lead Action Level Exceedances (ALEs) - blood lead level testing via a mobile clinic and faith-based lead awareness. Communities receiving additional support include Wayne, Oakland, Macomb, Kalamazoo and Berrien counties.
ALES are issued by the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy when elevated levels of lead or copper in household drinking water are identified through routine regulatory testing under the state s Lead and Copper Rule.
