In SLC over 95% of the homes have lead paint. I was advised to give a pamphlet to tenants notifying them that the home has lead paint... and that's it! I was now 100% compliant with the law.
What I found most shocking was that in a city with this great a density of lead contaminated homes, I could only find 5 professional outfits capable of removing lead paint! The only way to get traction on this issue (at least in Utah) is to pass a law against it :(
- xenadu02 11y agoMy understanding is that the safest thing to do with lead paint is leave it alone. Paint over it and keep everything in excellent shape (no peeling/cracking paint anywhere). Once you touch it you risk sending it airborne or spreading it all over the environment, including as dust or in the soil, both of which are much more likely to expose children to it.
