Protect Yourself: Lead Safety

Sanding lead-based paint can release harmful lead dust.

Lead is a naturally occurring element found in small quantities in the earth’s crust. It can be toxic to humans and animals. Lead absorption may occur during renovation, repair, and painting activities that disturb lead-based paint (for example: sanding, cutting, replacing windows and more). Such types of activities can create hazardous lead dust and chips which can be harmful to adults, children and pets. 

Understanding the effects of lead in paint is important. Even low levels of lead in children can reduce a child’s ability to learn and cause behavioral problems. If a structure (built prior to 1978) is having this type of work performed to it, it should be done by a Lead-Safe Certified Renovation Contractor. 

A Certified Contractor should work in accordance with new E.P.A. guidelines for any renovation or repair project. They will know how to protect you and your family. 

Do-It-Yourself projects must follow the “Lead-Safe Work Practices” available from the E.P.A., L.A. County Health Department or your local Building Department. Remember, home repairs that create even a small amount of lead dust are enough to poison your child and put your entire family at risk.
