Approximately three- quarters of all homes built before 1978 contain lead- based paint. Sanding or scraping these older paints during renovation can release hazardous lead dust into the air and soil. If exterior paint has been flaking, the soil in your yard may already be contaminated, Such contamination is invisible, since lead remains in the soil long after paint degrades.
