If you have a home or building built before 1978, there is a good chance your property may have lead.
Did you know that lead can have a negative effect on your health?
Exposure to lead can go undetected. Children and adults alike may have high levels of lead in their bodies and not show a sign. In some cases, symptoms arise slowly, or are attributed to other causes, making this poison all the more dangerous. *
Does Your Property Have Lead?
It's been estimated that more than 38 million homes built prior to 1978 were painted with paint containing lead.
Percentage of properties likely to have lead:
- Built between 1960-1978 = 24%
- Built between 1940-1960 = 69%
- Built before 1940 = 87%
