Managing lead-based paint in houses
and apartments
Many houses and apartments built before 1978 have paint
that contain high levels of lead or lead-based paint. The
lead-based paint can enter into our bodies by breathing or
swallowing paint chips or dust that contains elevated levels
of lead. These exposures are extremely harmful to children
under six but can also cause damage in older children and
adults. Because of the health risks associated with lead paint
the Federal Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and N.Y.C.
have created laws to protect building occupants from lead
exposures.
