Children pick it up from lead-based paint or contaminated dust, soil, and water. Lead exposure risk “remains persistent” among vulnerable groups including low-income and non-Hispanic Black children, the study says.</p> <div class="wp-block-image"> <figure class="alignright size-full is-resized"><a href="https://now.fordham.edu/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Afane.jpg"><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" width="559" height="718" src="https://now.fordham.edu/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Afane.jpg" alt="Khalifa Afane" class="wp-image-196599" style="width:409px;height:auto" srcset="https://now.fordham.edu/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Afane.jpg 559w, https://now.fordham.edu/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Afane-234x300.jpg 234w, https://now.fordham.edu/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Afane-150x193.jpg 150w, https://now.fordham.edu/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Afane-450x578.jpg 450w" sizes="(max-width: 559px) 100vw, 559px" /></a><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Khalifa Afane with his research poster the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences Research Day last spring. </figcaption></figure></div> <p>The city promotes blood lead level testing and awareness of lead poisoning in high-risk communities through a variety of educational efforts and partnerships.</p> <p>But some high-risk neighborhoods still don’t get enough testing, Afane said.  A case in point is Greenpoint in Brooklyn vs. South Beach in Staten Island. The study says that despite similar numbers of children and similar rates of lead testing, Greenpoint has consistently averaged eight times more cases—97 out of 3,760 tests conducted in 2021, compared to just 12 in South Beach that year (out of 3,720 tests).</p> <p>There should actually be more testing of children in Greenpoint, Afane said, because their risk is clearly higher. While testing efforts have expanded in the city, he said, “it matters much more where these extra tests were actually conducted,” since lead is more prevalent in some neighborhoods than in others, he said.</p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>More than 400 Cases May Have Been Missed</strong></h2> <p>For the study, he analyzed test result data from 2005 to 2021, focusing on children under 6 years old who were found to have blood lead levels of 5 micrograms per deciliter. Afane applied a machine learning algorithm to the testing data and projected that another 410 children with elevated blood lead levels might be identified per year citywide, mostly in vulnerable areas, by expanding testing in neighborhoods that tend to have higher case rates.</p> <p>The highest-risk neighborhoods are in Brooklyn, Queens, and the north shore of Staten Island, and average about 12 cases per 1,000 tests, compared to less than four in low-risk neighborhoods, Afane said.</p> <p>The city helps coordinate care for children with elevated levels and also works to reduce lead hazards. Since 2005, the number of New York City children under 6 years old with elevated blood lead levels has dropped 93%, a city report says.</p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Using a Data-Informed Strategy</strong></h2> <p>But the study recommends a better, data-informed, strategy to focus more lead testing on high-need areas. “What we wanted to highlight here is that this needs to be done and reported at the neighborhood level, not at the city level,” Afane said.</p> <p>The study also recommends awareness campaigns in high-risk areas emphasizing early detection, and it calls on local authorities to step up monitoring of water quality and blood lead levels in pregnant women.</p> <p>“Our main goal was to use data science and machine learning tools to genuinely improve the city,” Afane said. “Data analysis is a powerful skill that could be used much more often to make a positive impact in our communities.”</p> </div> </div> <div class="the-post-tags"><a href="https://now.fordham.edu/tag/computer-and-information-science/" rel="tag">Computer and Information Science</a> <a href="https://now.fordham.edu/tag/gsas/" rel="tag">Graduate School of Arts and Sciences</a> <a href="https://now.fordham.edu/tag/homepage/" rel="tag">homepage</a> <a href="https://now.fordham.edu/tag/homepage-headlines/" rel="tag">Homepage Headlines</a> <a href="https://now.fordham.edu/tag/lead-poisoning/" rel="tag">lead poisoning</a> <a href="https://now.fordham.edu/tag/machine-learning/" rel="tag">Machine Learning</a> <a href="https://now.fordham.edu/tag/master-of-science-in-data-science/" rel="tag">Master of Science in Data Science</a></div> </article> <div class="post-share-bot"> <span class="info">Share.</span> <span class="share-links spc-social spc-social-colors spc-social-bg"> <a href="https://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fnow.fordham.edu%2Fscience-and-technology%2Flead-testing-efforts-may-be-missing-kids-in-high-risk-nyc-neighborhoods-study-says%2F" class="service s-facebook tsi tsi-facebook" title="Share on Facebook" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"> <span class="visuallyhidden">Facebook</span> </a> <a href="https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?url=https%3A%2F%2Fnow.fordham.edu%2Fscience-and-technology%2Flead-testing-efforts-may-be-missing-kids-in-high-risk-nyc-neighborhoods-study-says%2F&text=Lead%20Testing%20Efforts%20May%20Be%20Missing%20Kids%20in%20High-Risk%20NYC%20Neighborhoods%2C%20Study%20Says" class="service s-twitter tsi tsi-twitter" title="Share on X (Twitter)" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"> <span class="visuallyhidden">Twitter</span> </a> <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/shareArticle?mini=true&url=https%3A%2F%2Fnow.fordham.edu%2Fscience-and-technology%2Flead-testing-efforts-may-be-missing-kids-in-high-risk-nyc-neighborhoods-study-says%2F" class="service s-linkedin tsi tsi-linkedin" title="Share on LinkedIn" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"> <span class="visuallyhidden">LinkedIn</span> </a> <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#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" class="service s-email tsi tsi-envelope-o" title="Share via Email" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"> <span class="visuallyhidden">Email</span> </a> <a href="https://wa.me/?text=Lead%20Testing%20Efforts%20May%20Be%20Missing%20Kids%20in%20High-Risk%20NYC%20Neighborhoods%2C%20Study%20Says%20https%3A%2F%2Fnow.fordham.edu%2Fscience-and-technology%2Flead-testing-efforts-may-be-missing-kids-in-high-risk-nyc-neighborhoods-study-says%2F" class="service s-whatsapp tsi tsi-whatsapp" title="Share on WhatsApp" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"> <span class="visuallyhidden">WhatsApp</span> </a> </span> </div> <div class="author-box"> <section class="author-info"> <img alt='' src='https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/78d5aeff436909a8a5a648a2e6b8558b?s=95&d=https%3A%2F%2Fnow.fordham.edu%2Fwp-content%2Fthemes%2Ffordham%2Fimages%2FBlock-F-Rev.png&r=g' srcset='https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/78d5aeff436909a8a5a648a2e6b8558b?s=190&d=https%3A%2F%2Fnow.fordham.edu%2Fwp-content%2Fthemes%2Ffordham%2Fimages%2FBlock-F-Rev.png&r=g 2x' class='avatar avatar-95 photo' height='95' width='95' decoding='async'/> <div class="description"> <a href="https://now.fordham.edu/author/gosier/" title="Posts by Chris Gosier" rel="author">Chris Gosier</a> <ul class="social-icons"> </ul> <p class="bio">Chris Gosier is research news director for Fordham Now.
