to you by Mandell Lead Inspectors
Abatement
Any extensive
abatement that is done for lead paint should be done by a Lead
Abatement Contractor licensed by the State you live in. The
process should then be monitored and tested by a Lead Evaluation
Company (one that does inspections also) to determine that the
lead dust is no longer present.
If a general
contractor is hired to do remodeling a Lead Abatement Contractor
can work with them to safely remove the lead and allow the contractor
to remodel under safe conditions.
There are
many options available to a homeowner in dealing with lead paint.
A lead consultant,
one who does the inspection, can make these options available
to you.
If your
child becomes poisoned and has a lead level over 20 ug/dl, the
local board of health is notified automatically by your pediatrician.
The Board of Health can then determine what abatement you MUST
do. You no longer have the option of doing less extensive abatement
that may have had similar results. THAT IS WHY IT IS CRITICAL
YOU KNOW YOUR LEAD HAZARDS BEFORE SOMEONE IS POISONED.
