OKLAHOMA CITY â Oklahoma does not require schoolsâ water to be checked for lead and few have volunteered for a free testing program implemented a year ago.Â
More than 3,700 school and child care facilities are eligible, yet only six have applied, according to the Oklahoma Department of Environmental Quality, which administers the program. Only one, Central Oak Elementary in the Crooked Oak Public Schools district, has completed testing and remediation.Â
The testing is available to any school, licensed public or private child care facility, residential care center, childrenâs hospital or Boys & Girls Club in the state.Â
Lead exposure is especially harmful to children. Low level lead exposure in children has been linked to behavior and learning problems, lower IQs and hyperactivity, slowed growth, difficulty hearing and anemia. The effects are irreversible, which is why itâs important to prevent exposure.Â
