Residential Lead Hazard Reduction

Residential Lead Hazard Reduction refers to efforts and strategies aimed at minimizing exposure to lead in homes, particularly those built before 1978 when lead-based paints were commonly used. This process involves identifying lead sources, such as peeling paint or contaminated soil, and safely removing or encapsulating them. Implementing these measures helps protect families, especially children, from the harmful effects of lead exposure, which can lead to serious health issues, including developmental delays and learning difficulties. The goal is to create safer living environments by reducing lead-related risks.
