Lead Hazard Awareness Project: Lead in Paint
If your home was built before 1978, especially before 1960, it is very likely to have lead paint. Undisturbed paint with a smooth surface is not considered dangerous, and most lead paint has been covered with many layers of non-leaded paint. However, if the layered paint is loosened by water damage or pitted by the scrapes and dents of daily living, the old lead layers may become uncovered.
Lead Hazard Awareness Project: Housecleaning for Lead Safety
