Lead-Based Paint

Houses painted before 1978 may have paint that contains lead, which can be hazardous— especially to children—both through physical contact and breathing dust from sanding or scraping.

If you suspect that your home may have lead-based paint, request information on proper handling from your public health department or the Environmental Protection Agency at (800) 424-LEAD.
