Lead Paint Poisoning Prevention Act

The Lead Paint Poisoning Prevention Act is a law aimed at protecting people, especially children, from the hazards of lead-based paint. It restricts the use of leaded paint on residential and public buildings since lead exposure can cause serious health problems like learning disabilities and organ damage. The Act requires proper testing, safe removal, and ongoing safety standards for lead paint, along with providing information to homeowners and landlords. Its goal is to prevent lead poisoning by reducing exposure to this toxic substance in environments where people live and work.
