Lead & Environmental
Hazards Association
The Lead and Environmental Hazards Association (LEHA) is a national, non-profit organization committed to advancing our nation's efforts to eliminate lead paint poisoning and other public health and environmental hazards faced by both children and adults, especially in homes, schools and other buildings where hazards are most severe.
We improve opportunities for advancing lead inspection, risk assessment, abatement and many other initiatives by conducting educational programs, research, policy evaluation, outreach to decisionmakers and business activities.

What We Do
LEHA's purpose is to advance our nation's efforts to eliminate lead paint poisoning and other public health and environmental hazards through the following initiatives:
National Forums
Provide forums for the exchange of state-of-the-art information on lead-based paint detection, hazard control and abatement methods through conferences, meetings and publications.
Training & Accreditation
Initiate activities for the training, accreditation and recognition of lead-based paint industry practitioners, including community and parent groups, local health and housing departments, government and many others.
Legislative Advocacy
Promote legislative, regulatory, philanthropic, and private efforts to enhance professional lead-based paint detection, abatement and worker health and safety practices.
Strategic Planning
Support planning to strategically solve the complex lead-based paint problem and other healthy housing, public health and environmental issues.
Since its inception in 1991, LEHA has grown into an organization of hundreds of individuals, organizations and companies that represent a cross-section of the lead-based paint and healthy housing field, including contractors, consultants, testing companies, training organizations, laboratories, community groups, housing and health and environmental officials, facility managers, and lead hazard control program administrators.
