Lead-based paint was used extensively for interior and exterior building surfaces, toys and furniture from the 1940s to the late 1970s. Lead-based paint was banned in 1978 by the Consumer Product Safety Commission. Unfortunately, some countries today still ship products containing lead paint to the U.S.
About 38 million homes, 40% of the nation’s housing, contain lead-based paint, making it a serious but invisible hazard. Rules apply to all renovations, including paint removal, demolition, window replacement, and HVAC ductwork repairs. Remember, any contractor you hire must be certified to perform renovations in older buildings which include lead-based paint.
