About the Leadline

Multnomah County's Leadline works in partnership with other community groups and government agencies to help eliminate lead poisoning in Oregon.

We can prevent lead poisoning by eliminating lead-based paint hazards before children are exposed. Our goal is to eliminate this disease by working to make Multnomah County housing lead-safe, and by improving the detection and treatment of lead poisoning.
