Don’t Spread Lead:
A do-it yourselfer’s guide to preventing lead poisoning by working lead-safe; this video shows you how to handle small repairs or renovations safely.
Are you getting ready to fix up or do repairs on an older home? If your home was built before 1978, it may contain lead paint. If you do repairs or renovations without taking proper precautions, you could put yourself, your family, and your community at risk for lead poisoning, a very serious illness. If your home has lead paint, then common activities-such as scraping an old windowsill or removing paint with a heat gun-can produce dangerous lead dust, chips, and fumes.
