Why Do You Need to be Concerned About Lead?

Lead is toxic and it is all around us. There is a good chance that any home, building, school or daycare center built before 1978 contains some lead paint.

Lead can affect children's brains and developing nervous systems, causing reduced IQ, learning disabilities, and behavioral problems. Lead is also harmful to adults.

Lead-based paint was used in more than 38 million homes until it was banned for residential use in 1978. Projects that disturb painted surfaces can create dust and endanger you and your family.
