Book Description
Lead paint poisoning has become a major health issue today; it is the number one environmental threat to children. Some 50 million homes are contaminated & one child out of nine is at risk of being harmed by this silent poison. In addition to the health risks, the public should also be aware of the potential for overpricing & poor quality in the lead paint industry. The public needs an authoritative resource to turn to. THE LEAD PAINT PRIMER is geared to answer the major questions of the average person. Written by two experts, it is an easy-to-understand guide identifying & remedying the problem of lead paint exposure. This book was created with the intent to clearly lay out the facts behind the problem & the steps to take if it affects you or your family. "The authors have a commendable style of presentation...that thoroughly embraces the subject in a refreshing combination of lay & technical language meant to reach the widest audience...the authors are to be complimented for its thoroughness & practical approach...it gives needed insight." --Samuel Meites, Clinical Chemistry Review, Vol. 37, No. 11, 1991.

Book Description
Lead-based paint has become a national issue and will continue to be a hi- priority focus ofnational, state, and local agencies until there is no lead-based paint in the United States. Lead-based paint has become a tremendous health hazard for people and animals. Lead-based paint has been in widespread use throughout Europe and the United States. Lead has been known to be a health hazard since the time ofPliny the Elder (A. D. 23–79), but it was deemed that the advantages of lead in paint outweighed the health hazards. There has been a change in outlook, and in 1973 the U. S. Congress banned all lead paint from residential structures. A voluminous number of law suits have been initiated since, and continue to be litigated with the purpose of determining the parties responsible for the lead poisoning of children and others and to exact the indemnities. Lead-based paint is still authorized for use on bridges and nonresidential structures, and thousands of city, state, military, and federal government housing projects still contain lead-based paint. This paint must be removed if these dwellings are to be safe living quarters, especially for children. Aba- ment techniques continue to be evaluated; some have been used successfully. Lead-based paint abatement will continue into the next century, and it is hoped that this comprehensive volume will serve as a guide for those seriously interested in this important subject.
