Air filters may help lower lead levels in kids
NCT ID NCT07485608
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether portable air filters can reduce lead dust in older homes and lower blood lead levels in children under 7. About 40 children with elevated lead levels who live in homes built before 1978 will use an air filter in their bedroom for two months. The goal is to see if this simple device can help control lead exposure and improve health.
