FAQ

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention states that a blood lead level of 3.5 ?g/dL or above is a cause for concern; however, lead may impair development and have harmful health effects even at lower levels, and there is no known safe exposure level.

However, you should not scrape or rub lead paint as this could release dust that you could breathe in. There is no safe level of exposure to lead, and the health consequences from lead exposure can be severe.

Painting over lead paint can be considered a form of ?encapsulation,? which is one of the EPA-approved ways to remediate lead paint hazards. However, this requires the use of a special material called an ?encapsulant.? Regular store-bought paint by itself is not sufficient to safely encapsulate lead paint.

If allowed to deteriorate, lead from paint can threaten the health of occupants, especially children under six years old. If families and building owners are aware of the presence of lead-based paint and the proper actions to take, most lead-based paint hazards can be managed.

Painting over lead paint, or encapsulation, is only effective if the old finish of the lead paint is still in excellent condition ? that is, not peeling or chipped. In addition, the encapsulated area must be monitored over time to prevent exposure to lead paint chips and dust.
