What to do for house built before 1978 with lead paint
AI Overview Learn more If your home was built before 1978, you can take these steps to protect yourself and your family from lead paint: Avoid disturbing the paint: Don't create lead dust by disturbing the paint. Clean up: Use a damp paper towel to wipe down flat surfaces and throw away the paper towel. Vacuum carpets and upholstery with a HEPA filter or a "higher efficiency" collection bag. Protect entryways: Put doormats outside and inside all entryways and remove your shoes before entering. Wash hands: Wash your hands several times a day using soap and water, especially after playing or working outside. Test for lead: Have a lead professional test for lead hazards in your home and soil. Paint over: You can paint over lead paint with a special material called an “encapsulant”. Regular store-bought paint is not sufficient. You can also have a professional remove the paint. Take precautions when remodeling: Take precautions to avoid creating lead dust when remodeling, renovating, or maintaining your home. Lead-based paint is found in approximately three-quarters of homes built in the United States before 1978. While it poses little risk if properly maintained, lead paint can threaten the health of occupants, especially children under six years old.
我有很多1978年前的老condo，最近，听说纽约的老公寓被告，儿童铅中毒。 得罚和花大钱来付医药费。 我打算再查一遍这些房的油漆，是否还有铅毒。 该找谁？或公司来查呢？收费如何？

if you can see some old paint exposed I guarantee you will not pass the current EPA test standard.
Lead tester把可疑先测一下拆了换了，然后花钱让lead inspector 来检查一遍发个lead safe certificate. 不过一旦有了lead certificate ，你租房卖房都要告知租客或买家，所以一般如果不是政府要求，没必要去做这证书。
反正你测了清理了（清理指的是全拆而不是涂层新油漆就算数），安全系数就高了许多。
当然，已有事件发生了，就是得abatement 程序了，得专业人士清理了。
门窗地脚线楼梯...
有人用涂另层油漆（不是普通油漆有种专门油漆）或盖层薄板的方式，但我以为不是一劳永逸的方法尤其是想长期持有房子的。
我们这几年都在慢慢地做这个，还好这些自己做都不难。
只是室内的，如果加做dust test and outdoor soil test 就另外加钱了。
不过室内有毒木材油漆是关键。
