In recognition of Lead Poisoning Prevention Week 2020, the Chautauqua County Department of Health and Human Services (CCDHHS), The Chautauqua Center, and Brooks-TLC Hospital System, Inc. have teamed up to conduct a free drive-up/walk-up lead testing of household objects on Wednesday, October 28, 2020 from 11 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. at The Chautauqua Center parking garage at 107 Institute St. in Jamestown, N.Y.
Testing at the event is limited to three items per household. Items to be brought for testing might include vintage toys, imported dollar-store toys, imported ceramics, vinyl items, old painted furniture, or repurposed painted wood craft items.
Pediatrics staff from The Chautauqua Center will also be on hand to give away face masks and answer questions about the Center's new pediatrics services.
Face masks are required. If possible, items should be left in the vehicle trunk for testing. For more information, please contact the Chautauqua County Lead Poisoning Prevention Team at (716) 753-4795.
