Lead Paint Removal and Abatement (Pre-1978 Homes, RRP Rule, DIY Hazards) — household safety profile
High risk37.1 million US homes (pre-1978) contain lead-based paint — the #1 source of childhood lead exposure.
What is this product?
37.1 million US homes (pre-1978) contain lead-based paint — the #1 source of childhood lead exposure. Renovation, repair, and painting (RRP) activities that disturb lead paint generate hazardous lead dust and chips. EPA RRP Rule (2008): contractors working on pre-1978 homes must be EPA-certified, use lead-safe work practices (containment, HEPA vacuum, wet methods), and verify cleanup with dust wipe testing. DIY renovation is NOT covered by RRP Rule — homeowners can legally create lead hazards in their own homes without training. CDC: no safe blood lead level in children. HUD action level: 40 ug/ft2 on floors, 250 ug/ft2 on windowsills.
