× The federal government has shut down due to the failures of the President and Congress to continue government funding. Millions of Californians receiving benefits from state programs may be impacted. For now, California’s Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) will continue to provide services and enroll eligible families as long as funding is available. No new federal funding to California WIC will be provided until the President and Congress take action. Families should continue to use their WIC benefits and attend their WIC appointments. This information is subject to change, so please monitor the California WIC website for updates.

Please be wary of potential highly partisan political messaging while visiting federal government websites for information related to the federal government shutdown.

CHILDHOOD LEAD POISONING PREVENTION BRANCH

CA Analytical Laboratories for Testing Paint Chips, Dust, or Soil Samples for Lead

If you are a homeowner or prospective buyer of a home, or an owner or manager of a school or building, the presence of lead could be a concern and collection and analysis of potential sources of lead may be necessary. The Environmental Protection Agency established the National Lead Laboratory Accreditation Program (NLLAP) to recognize laboratories that demonstrate the ability to accurately analyze paint chip, dust, or soil samples for lead. Fixed-site laboratories, mobile laboratories, and testing firms that operate portable equipment are all eligible to obtain EPA recognition through NLLAP. An organization may choose to be recognized for one, two, or all three of the sample types (paint chips, dust, and soil) in NLLAP.
