The North Carolina Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention Program (CLPPP) currently coordinates clinical and environmental services aimed at eliminating childhood lead poisoning. NC CLPPP also provides technical assistance, training and oversight for local environmental health specialists, public health nurses, laboratory technicians and private medical providers to assure healthy and safe conditions. Among the program's other activities are early identification, surveillance, abatement enforcement, monitoring inspections and risk assessments. Customers of this program are citizens of NC, children and their families, who have tested with elevated blood lead levels and need an environmental investigation.  Customers also include local EHS programs that are providing the lead investigations.
