Cal. Civ. Code § 192
Lead poisoning educational and publicity program
Operative Text
Section 192. The director shall institute an educational and publicity program, in order to inform the general public, and particularly parents of children residing in areas of significant exposure to sources of lead poisoning; teachers, social workers and other human service personnel; owners of residential property, particularly property constructed previous to the year nineteen hundred and forty-five; and health services personnel, and particularly interns, residents and other intake personnel at major hospitals, of the dangers, frequency, and sources of lead poisoning, and the methods of preventing such poisoning.
Mass. Gen. Laws c. 111 § 192 establishes a state-run educational and publicity program directed by the public health director aimed at raising awareness about lead poisoning. The program is designed to reach a broad audience, including the general public, parents in high-exposure areas, teachers, social workers, residential property owners, and hospital intake personnel. It focuses on communicating the dangers, frequency, and sources of lead poisoning, as well as methods of prevention.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Mass. Gen. Laws c. 111 § 192, residential property owners—especially those managing properties built before 1945—are among the specific audiences the state's lead poisoning education program is designed to reach. Compliant operators generally stay informed about state-issued guidance on lead hazard sources and prevention methods distributed through this program. Familiarity with publicly available materials produced under this provision can support broader compliance with Massachusetts lead safety requirements.

Mass. Gen. Laws c. 111 § 192 establishes a public education program that is intended, in part, to inform parents of children living in areas with significant lead exposure about the dangers and sources of lead poisoning and how it can be prevented. Tenants, particularly those with young children in older housing, may access educational materials produced under this program through the Massachusetts Department of Public Health. Those who believe their household may be affected by lead hazards can also explore options such as contacting a local board of health, reaching out to a tenant-rights organization, or reviewing other provisions of Massachusetts lead law for additional protections.
