What is Lead?
Lead is a heavy metal chemical that has many uses from being heavy, soft, and malleable. In the building industry, lead was commonly used in paint products as well as pipes, batteries, and other products.
While lead has several uses, it also has its dangers. So many industries used lead-based paint in the early 1900s. This means that homes, buildings, structures, and maritime industries all feature some form of lead-based paint in them somewhere.
Ingestion of lead by humans is poisonous. It damages the nervous system and causes brain damage. The US Congress has passed many laws as a result of lead and its dangers.
EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) enforces many of the compliance regulations and OHSA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) enforces compliance on worker safety from lead-based paint exposure.
