LEAD-BASED PAINT: ABOUT LEAD AND ITS EFFECTS
Lead-Based Paint was widely used in homes prior to 1978. Since then, a U.S. federal ban was placed on lead-based paint due to the significant health risks it poses, specifically when damaged or deteoriorating. According to epa.gov, “Deteriorating lead-based paint (peeling, chipping, chalking, cracking, damaged, or damp) is a hazard and needs immediate attention.” If the paint is damaged, lead can be airborne in the form of dust and thus easily be inhaled.
Exposure to Lead
Children under the age of 7 are most susceptible to the effects of lead, but anyone can be affected. Some health effects due to the inhalation or ingestion of lead include:
