NIOSH Safety and Health Topic:Adult Blood Lead Epidemiology and Surveillance (ABLES) |
|
The ABLES program is a state-based surveillance program of laboratory-reported adult blood lead levels. The program objective is to build state capacity to initiate, expand, or improve adult blood lead surveillance programs which can accurately measure trends in adult blood lead levels and which can effectively intervene to prevent lead over-exposures.

ABLES State-Based ProgramsAt the State level, numerous innovative projects to help understand and prevent adult lead poisoning have been undertaken and reported. Participating states, contact persons within those states, and available publications are included. An example of the ABLES Purchase Order for FY 07 CSTE Conference/ABLES
