EPA Imposes Strict Limits on Lead Paint Dust in Pre-1978 Homes to Protect Children
Oct 24, 2024, 02:15 PM
The Biden administration has imposed strict new limits on dust from lead-based paint in older homes and child-care facilities. This move, finalized by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), aims to protect children from the harmful effects of lead exposure. The new standards are part of a broader effort to reduce lead exposure, which includes a recent nationwide deadline for the removal of lead pipes. The EPA's rule targets landlords, renovators, schools, and day care facilities, requiring tougher cleanup standards to mitigate the risks posed by lead paint dust in pre-1978 homes. This initiative, announced during National Lead Poisoning Prevention Week, is expected to better protect more than 300,000 children annually from the toxic metal.
