Title: Why ensuring Lead paint abatement is a must


1
Why ensuring Lead paint abatement is a must
  • Lead paint removal is a serious topic and should
    not be underestimated in any way. This topic has
    been under discussion for a very long time. It
    comes as a surprise that most people tend to over
    look this threat.

2
How this problem started
  • For decades lead paint was used and for decades
    it has been the
  • cause of various health related problems. Even
    though its usage has
  • been banned, yet health concerns remain to this
    day. This is because
  • homes that were built before the year 1978 were
    painted with lead
  • paint. With time, these houses were passed from
    generation to
  • generation. They stand very much in the same way
    today as they
  • were in 1978. To make matters worse, lead paint
    removal has not
  • been ensured in the majority of these homes. So
    the threat still
  • remains there undetected.
  • There have been lots of attempts on part of the
    government to raise
  • awareness about this impending danger. However,
    significant
  • attention to this problem has not been paid by
    the people in general.
  • The problem persists in many houses to this day
    and continues to
  • afflict people like a silent killer.

What started the problem?
  • We all know now that the usage of lead paint is
    harmful. We would certainly never use this paint
    in our homes. However, it was being used before
    1978. The most common reason for its usage was
    the belief that lead being a richer color would
    come out to be more durable for protecting the
    homes from moisture. People were unaware in those
    days that despite this attractive benefit its
    usage would prove to be harmful not only for the
    people but also for the environment.

Banned in 1970s but threat still remains
  • The negative repercussions on health were the
    reason that led to the ban despite its positive
    effect. However, a good development is that
    houses built earlier than 1978 are required to be
    made lead free as a condition before they can be
    sold by their owners. The bad news is that
    despite this regulation, it still remains present
    in most of the houses.

Possible side effects on your family
  • Lead could possibly be fatal which increases the
    urgency to fix this problem. Kids and pregnant
    women stand out as being the most vulnerable.
    Lead paint apart from causing neurological damage
    also harms the reproductive system. Kids and
    especially babies have a tendency to swallow
    things which they pick from the ground. They may
    also lick at their fingers after they have
    touched objects contaminated with lead paints.
