*Sliders begin at preset positions based on the best available data at the time of analysis for costs, lead levels, and the number of replacements/interventions required. These cost and lead presets assume proactive lead removal policies, targeting all homes before a child’s EBLL is seen—as a result, costs and lead levels may be lower than current lead removal activities which respond to only existing exposures. These presets are estimated using state and city level data, but can be adjusted with newer data using the Recalculate feature.
