Lead exposure poses serious health risks, particularly for children, and can be present in paint, pipes, and soil.

Professional lead removal involves identifying and safely removing or encapsulating lead-based paints and materials, using specialized equipment, and following strict safety procedures to minimize exposure and contamination.
