Lead-Based Paint Inspection Services
Ensuring Lead Safety
in Older Properties
If your property was built before 1978, there’s a significant chance that lead-based paint was used in its construction. Lead exposure is particularly dangerous for young children and pregnant women, leading to severe health issues such as brain damage, learning disabilities, and developmental delays. At Coastal Air Assessments, we offer comprehensive Lead-Based Paint Inspections that adhere to EPA, HUD, and OSHA standards to help identify lead hazards in your property and ensure a safer environment for everyone.
Why Lead-Based Paint is a Hazard
Lead is a toxic metal that was widely used in paint until its ban in 1978. Over time, lead-based paint can deteriorate, creating dust or chips that can be inhaled or ingested. This poses significant health risks, particularly to vulnerable populations:
- Children: Lead exposure can result in long-term developmental and behavioral problems, including lowered IQ, attention disorders, and learning disabilities.
- Pregnant Women: Lead exposure during pregnancy can harm both the mother and the developing fetus, leading to premature birth or developmental delays.
The National Cancer Institute (NCI) and World Health Organization (WHO) have recognized lead as a serious public health threat, making it critical to ensure that your property is free from lead hazards.
