Just make sure it isn't lead-based paint that's falling off the walls... actually, I'm not sure about tiny particles of any paint. My grandfather was a painter and I did quite a bit of voluntary painting as a boy, that stuff is as unhealthy as anything. I would not trust paint particles floating around the room with the regular dust.
- bArray 10y agoI don't think it's lead based - how would you tell? It's coming off as sheets - I think there was some thin wallpaper underneath at some point. Either that or water got underneath the paint. I think it's coming off relatively cleanly all things considered.
- redblacktree 10y agoThere are lead-based paint test kits you can buy at a home improvement store, or Amazon.[0] [0]: https://www.amazon.com/LeadCheck-LC-2SDC-Disposable-Non-Staining-Detection/dp/B009NQNL0I/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1479760041&sr=8-3&keywords=lead+test+kit https://www.amazon.com/LeadCheck-LC-2SDC-Disposable-Non-Stai...
