Population of children by state annually screened for lead poisoning in 2010–2014. Using NYC as a control group, the population of children annually screened for lead poisoning from the 2010–2014 CDC data [50] showed that NYC was rather stable in screening children from 2010–2014. In contrast, when compared to NYC, New York excluding NYC (p < 0.001***), New Jersey (p < 0.016*), and Pennsylvania (p < 0.001***) showed significantly less of the population of children annually screened for lead poisoning. The state of Michigan (p = 0.060 n/s) showed stable, but not significantly lower screening rates of children when compared to NYC. The (#) indicates that no data were available for that state in that year. No records for the years examined were available from the CDC data [50] for Colorado.
