Lead

If your home was built before 1978, there is a good chance it has lead-based paint. 

Lead from paint, chips, and dust can pose serious health hazards. Lead paint is still present in millions of homes, sometimes under layers of newer paint. If the paint is in good shape, the lead paint is usually not a problem. Deteriorating lead-based paint (peeling, chipping, chalking, cracking, damaged, or damp) is a hazard and needs immediate attention. It may also be a hazard when found on surfaces that children can chew or that get a lot of wear-and-tear, such as:

     o  Windows and window sills;

     o  Doors and door frames; and

     o  Stairs, railings, banisters, and porches
