October Module 1: Why Should I be Concerned about Lead Paint? Overview What is lead-based paint? What health risks and health effects are related to lead exposure? Why is lead-contaminated dust a problem?

October What Is Lead-Based Paint? Federal standards define lead-based paint as: Any paint or surface coatings that contain lead equal to or in excess of 1.0 milligram per square centimeter or more than 0.5 percent by weight. Some states and localities regulate paint with lower concentrations of lead. It is the primary source of lead-contaminated dust in housing. Why was lead used in paint?  Lead was added for color and durability. Lead-based paint was banned in 1978.

October Health Risks of Lead Very hazardous to children. Damages the brain and central nervous system; can cause decreased intelligence, reading and learning difficulties, behavioral problems, and hyperactivity. Damage can be irreversible, affecting children throughout their lives. Hazardous to pregnant women. Damage to the fetus. Also hazardous to workers and other adults. High blood pressure. Loss of sex drive and/or capability. Physical fatigue. Lead exposure causes permanent damage.

October Symptoms Of Lead Poisoning are Not Always Obvious Symptoms are easily misinterpreted by medical personnel, thus delaying effective treatment and increasing the likelihood of permanent physical and mental damage. Only sure way to determine lead poisoning is to take a blood lead level (BLL) test.

October Why are Dust and Debris a Problem? Renovation activities that disturb lead-based paint create dust and debris. Debris becomes dust. Lead-contaminated dust is poisonous. Very small amounts of lead-contaminated dust can poison children and adults. Children swallow dust during ordinary play activities. Adults swallow or breathe dust during work activities. Workers can bring lead-contaminated dust home and poison their families.

October A Little Dust Goes a Long Way You can’t see it. It’s hard to sweep up. And, it travels. One gram of lead-based paint can contaminate a large area!
