Lead Survey & Lead Paint Testing
Lead Risk Assessor Serving Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New York, and Beyond
Lead paint is dangerous for a number of reasons, not only in homes, but in public spaces and offices as well. In 1977 the United States' Consumer Product Safety Commission, or CPSC, created a ban on lead paint because of the dangerous effects it carried. Widely used lead paint is now classified as a hazardous material and has a history of causing lasting health effects on the general population. Lead surveys and exposure monitoring are frequently needed in construction settings as well as manufacturing and industrial processes involving lead-containing materials.

Who is Most At-Risk of Lead Poisoning?
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), the most common victims of lead paint are children, due to their natural response of putting foreign objects and their own hands in their mouth. If an environment contains lead, the surfaces that children contact can likely get them sick. However, children are not the only ones at risk; lead dust is also a hazard for building maintenance staff, construction workers, manufacturing employees, and even some hobbyists.
Some effects of lead-based poisoning include:
- Brain damage
- Kidney damage
- Headaches
- Stomachaches
- Nausea
- Tiredness
- Irritability
The best way to avoid lead poisoning is to use proper work and cleaning methods. If you believe that there is a danger of lead paint in your building, contact us today schedule a lead survey with a professional lead risk assessor.
What are Early Signs of Lead Poisoning?
A high level of lead exposure causes lead poisoning. Homes built before 1978 are most likely to contain lead. In addition to headaches, cramps, and hyperactivity, lead poisoning is characterized by memory loss. A blood test for lead can diagnose lead poisoning.
Does Lead Poisoning Go Away?
Lead Poisoning: Is there a Treatment? Pediatricians emphasize prevention as the only way to reverse lead poisoning's effects. However, a diet high in calcium, iron, and vitamin C can help the body absorb less lead.
