Lead Exposure Risk Assessment Guidelines

Lead Exposure Risk Assessment Guidelines are standards used to identify and evaluate potential sources of lead exposure in environments such as homes, schools, and play areas. These guidelines help professionals assess the risks associated with lead contamination, particularly in older buildings where lead-based paints and plumbing may exist. The assessment involves inspecting the environment, testing materials for lead levels, and determining how individuals, especially children, might be exposed. The goal is to implement measures to minimize or eliminate lead exposure, ensuring a safer environment for everyone, particularly vulnerable populations.
