Lead can be found almost anywhere. Remember the last time you had your house painted? It’s possible that remnants of the lead-based paint used have contaminated the soil in your yard or nearby playground.
The great danger lies when the contaminated substance is ingested commonly by children as they often pick up anything they see and touch when playing. Lead consumption can also result from eating home-produced food that has picked up lead from contaminated garden soil.
We’ve listed six ways to better protect your home and family from lead risks:
EPA’s Lead Renovation, Repair and Painting (RRP) Rule makes it a requirement for firms and contractors that offer related services to have their companies certified by EPA or an EPA-authorized state. This is to ensure that workers are trained by EPA and that the business follows lead-safe work practices.
