Lead Exposure Reduction Act

The Lead Exposure Reduction Act is a U.S. law aimed at protecting public health by reducing lead exposure, particularly in homes and buildings. It establishes standards for lead paint and dust, especially in older properties where lead is a concern. The Act mandates safe practices for lead removal and requires property owners to disclose lead hazards to tenants. By regulating lead exposure, the law seeks to prevent lead poisoning, especially in children, who are most vulnerable to its harmful effects. This legislation supports community health and safety by promoting awareness and responsible management of lead hazards.
