4.22.10 - Professional Remodelers Organization Encourages Homeowners to Understand New EPA lead paint law
Portland, Ore. –– InThe U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s regulation Lead Paint: Renovation Repair and Painting goes into effect on April 22, 2010. Not only will healthier homes result from this new lead paint law but serious life-long health problems from long term lead exposure including learning disabilities, seizures and even death will be prevented. According to a report by the President’s Task force on Environmental Health and Safety Risks to Children, approximately 24 million pre-1978 U.S. dwellings are at risk for lead-based paint hazards. The new law requires contractors to get certified in lead-safe work practices if their work disturbs more than 6 square feet of paint on the interior or a 20-square-foot section on the exterior of a home built before 1978. The older the home is, the more likely it contains lead-based paint, which can turn into a fine, ingestible dust if disturbed.
