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 four core initiatives.
National Forums
Convene professionals to exchange state-of-the-art knowledge on lead detection, hazard control, and abatement — through conferences, meetings, and publications.
Training & Accreditation
Initiate activities for the training, accreditation, and recognition of lead-based paint practitioners — from contractors to community and health officials.
Legislative Advocacy
Promote legislative, regulatory, philanthropic, and private efforts to enhance professional detection, abatement, and worker health & safety practices.
Strategic Support
Support planning to strategically solve the complex lead-based paint problem and other healthy housing, public health and environmental issues.
A cross-section of the field
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, laboratories, community groups, housing and public health officials, facility managers, and lead hazard control program administrators.
Board of Directors
Our officers and directors represent the professionals guiding LEHA's mission nationwide. Directors serve staggered terms alongside a distinguished group of emeritus members.
