About LEHA
The Lead and Environmental Hazards Association 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 children and adults — especially in homes, schools, and other buildings where hazards are most severe.
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.
