What Are The Dangers Of Lead?

• Lead can affect the brains of children as well as developing nervous systems, leading to reduced IQ, learning disabilities, and behavioral problems. Lead is also extremely harmful to adult health.
• Lead in dust is the most common way in which people are exposed to lead. People can also absorb lead in soil or paint chips. Lead dust is often invisible.
• Lead-based paint was used in more than 38 million homes until it was banned for residential use in 1978.
• Projects that disturb painted surfaces can create dust and endanger you and your family. Don’t let this happen to you — contact us today.

How Should I Choose A Lead Abatement Contractor?

Make sure your lead abatement and removal contractor is certified and can clearly explain the details of the job and how he or she will minimize lead hazards throughout their work. You can verify that a contractor is certified with the EPA’s Renovation, Repair & Painting Program or by calling the National Lead Information Center at 1 (800) 424-LEAD (5323).

The work practices the contractor must follow when dealing with lead-based paint include the following.

1. Contain the work area so that dust and debris do not escape from that area. Warning signs must be displayed and plastic or other impermeable material and tape must be used where appropriate.
2. Avoid renovation methods that generate large amounts of lead-contaminated dust. Some methods generate so much lead-contaminated dust that their use is prohibited.
3. Clean up thoroughly. The work area should be cleaned daily to keep it as clean as possible. When all of the work is done, the area must be cleaned using special cleaning methods before taking down any plastic that isolates the work area from the rest of the home.
