Of the nearly 8,000 U.S. Army child dependents tested for lead exposure in calendar year 2025, less than 1% showed elevated levels, a record low that public health officials credit to early clinical screenings, proactive engineering safeguards, and rapid household interventions. Since most children do not show any signs or symptoms of lead exposure, experts say it’s important to attend well-child visits where a provider can ask screening questions intended to assess both the risk of lead exposure and progress on developmental milestones.
