Wipe Out Lead New Jersey (WOLNJ)

WOLNJ is a statewide initiative to distribute free at home lead dust test kits to pregnant women and eligible families in select cities across NJ. Using these kits, dust wipe samples taken from the window sill and floor are sent to a professional lab to determine whether harmful lead dust from lead based paint is present. Along with the results, families receive information on cleaning and nutrition to immediately reduce exposure to harmful lead dust in the home, testing children for lead poisoning, and pursuing further inspection and when appropriate, elimination of harmful lead hazards.

TO BE ELIGIBLE FOR A FREE LEAD DUST TEST KIT, YOU MUST:

• Be pregnant or have young children in your home and
• Live in a home built before 1978

For a free lead test kit:

Wipe Out Lead New Jersey is funded by the NJ Department of Community Affairs and administered by Family Health Initiatives, the statewide subsidiary of the Southern NJ Perinatal Cooperative.
