BLL

Blood Lead Levels (BLL) have been calculated in micrograms per deciliter ofblood (µg/dL)

The number of children that fell into each of the following blood lead level results category.

The categories are:

• 10- 14
• 15- 19
• 20- 24
• 25- 44
• 45- 69
• greater than or equal to 70

For a child to have a confirmed elevated blood lead level they will need to have one venous blood specimen greater than or equal to 10 µg/dL, or two capillary blood specimens greater than or equal to 10 µg/dL drawn within 12 weeks of each other.
