Residential lead hazard control

Residential lead hazard control refers to efforts aimed at reducing lead exposure in homes, particularly those built before 1978 when lead-based paints were commonly used. It involves identifying and safely managing lead hazards, such as peeling paint or contaminated soil. Techniques include sealing or removing lead-based paint, cleaning dust, and ensuring safe renovations. This is crucial for protecting the health of residents, especially young children, who are most vulnerable to lead poisoning, which can affect development and cause serious health issues. Overall, it helps create safer living environments free from the dangers of lead exposure.
