Lead Hazard Assessment and Control

Lead Hazard Assessment and Control involves identifying and managing lead exposure risks, particularly in homes and buildings that may contain lead paint or dust. The process includes testing for lead, evaluating the extent of contamination, and implementing strategies to reduce exposure, such as safe removal, encapsulation, or ongoing maintenance. This is crucial for protecting public health, especially for children and pregnant women, as lead exposure can cause serious health issues. Effective lead hazard control ensures a safer living environment by reducing the risks associated with lead contamination.
