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.
