Some homes built after 1960 also contain heavily-leaded paint?
• Lead can be found on any interior or exterior surface, particularly on walls, woodwork, doors, and windows. • In 1978, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission lowered the legal maximum lead content in most kinds of paint to 0.06% (a trace amount). • Protect the health and welfare of your loved ones or employees and have the paint in buildings constructed before the 1980s tested for lead before renovating.
