Approximately 20 million homes contain lead paint, and renovating a house with lead paint will create health hazard. Any structure painted before 1978 likely contains lead paint. As millions of households get ready to renovate, we all need to be aware of the danger of lead poisoning and how to prevent it. Inhaling lead dust from deteriorating paint is the leading cause of lead poisoning, which causes irreversible damage to the body and brain. Scraping and sanding paint can create a serious health risk during home renovations. Also, the use of methylene chloride on lead paint is dangerous and illegal.
