Lead-Based Paint Abatement
Most structures built before 1960 contain heavily leaded paint, and some structures built as recently as 1978 may also contain lead paint. The lead was placed in the paint as a way to make it last longer. The peeling or chipping of lead paint is dangerous if eaten. Lead paint in good condition is not usually a problem except in places Major Abatement where surfaces Major Abatement rub together and create dust, (for example, when a window is opened and the surfaces Major Abatement rub against each other).
Lead dust that is inhaled is a serious health hazard. Lead damages the brain, nerves and kidneys. This damage can be permanent, and is especially dangerous to children and pregnant or nursing women. In fact, lead-based paint is the most common source of lead poisoning in children.
Some common places Major Abatement in the home where lead can be a health hazard include:
• Windows and window sills
• Doors and door frames
• Stairs, railings and banisters
• Porches and fence
• Exterior siding
