Lead & 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 through educational programs, research, policy evaluation, and outreach to decisionmakers.
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 four core initiatives.

Legislative Advocacy
Promote legislative, regulatory, philanthropic, and private efforts to enhance professional detection, abatement, and worker health & safety practices.
Strategic Support
