Q: Do I have to remove lead-based paint?

• <div><p>If the lead paint is in a place that is not easily disturbed and is not flaking or deteriorating, you do not necessarily need to remove it. Lead is toxic when dust particles or flakes from peeling lead paint are ingested. If people are not in the area with the lead paint, it may be safe to leave it in place. You still may want to consider encapsulation with a paint formulated for covering lead-based paint, just for an added layer of protection.</p></div>

Q: Do all homes that were built before 1978 contain lead paint?

• <div><p>While not all homes built before 1978 contain lead paint, enough do, so you&rsquo;ll still want to test to be on the safe side. The federal government banned lead-based paint for homes in 1978, but your state may have banned lead before that time. Around 24% of homes built between 1960 and 1977 contained lead-based paint, while 87% of homes built before 1940 contained lead-based paint.</p></div>

Q: How much does lead testing cost?

• <div><p>Testing typically costs between $200 and $600, depending on the number of samples and laboratory analysis.</p></div>

Q: How long does lead dust stay in the air?

• <div><p>When a surface that contains lead dust is disturbed, the dust can float about in the air for roughly an hour before settling again. Since you cannot see the dust, it is important always to wear protective gear when working with any materials that may contain lead paint and to keep children, pets, and others away from the area for as long as possible</p></div>

Q: Can I test for lead myself?

• <div><p>DIY kits are available, but professional testing provides more accurate results and legal documentation if remediation is needed.</p></div>
