If your home or building in the Bay Area was built before 1978, there’s a high chance it contains lead-based paint. While often hidden beneath layers of newer paint, deteriorating surfaces can release toxic lead dust, creating serious health hazards.

The Dangers of Lead Exposure

Lead is especially harmful to children and pregnant women, causing:

– Developmental delays
– Learning and behavioral issues
– Neurological damage
– Increased health risks during pregnancy

Even small amounts of lead dust from windows, doors, walls, or trim can lead to significant health consequences.

Federal and California regulations require certified professionals for safe lead removal. DIY methods can worsen contamination, putting families, workers, and communities at risk.
