Lead Hazard Mitigation

Lead hazard mitigation is the process of reducing or eliminating lead-based paint and other lead hazards in homes and buildings. This is important because lead exposure can cause serious health issues, especially in children. Mitigation may involve safely removing lead paint, sealing it, or enclosing it to prevent access. It also includes cleaning dust and soil that may contain lead. Professionals typically assess the risks and implement methods that ensure safety for occupants. Effective lead hazard mitigation helps create healthier living environments and protects communities from the harmful effects of lead exposure.
