In 1978, the United States banned the use of lead based paint(16 Code of Federal Regulations 1303). The reason for banning lead paint was the risk of children eating the paint chips. Lead paint actually tastes sweet, so once children taste it they are likely to keep eating it. When doing any construction-type work, it is important to know if your house contains lead paint. The dust created from the lead paint is enough to cause serious health issues. The toxicity of lead paint is known to cause nervous system damage, stunted growth, kidney damage, and reproductive problems. It is very important to use proper containment techniques when working around lead products to avoid exposure.
