Lead hazard regulations

Lead hazard regulations refer to rules designed to prevent exposure to lead, a toxic metal harmful to health, especially for children. These laws set limits on lead levels in paint, soil, water, and consumer products. They also require inspections, safe renovation practices, and proper removal of lead-based paint to reduce exposure risks. The regulations aim to ensure homes, schools, and environments are safe from lead contamination, protecting public health by minimizing the chance of lead poisoning and its long-term effects.
