Feel free to reach out to us today if you have any inquiries or would like to arrange an inspection.

Understanding Lead Exposure

Despite the prohibition of lead paint in NYC buildings since 1960, a substantial number of older structures still harbor remnants of this hazardous substance.

Lead, a naturally occurring metal in the Earth's crust, poses a grave threat to human health. Exposure to lead can result in lead poisoning, a preventable yet severe condition, especially perilous for young children.

Even at low levels in a child's bloodstream, lead can detrimentally affect the brain, kidneys, bone marrow, and other vital organ systems. Pregnant women are also at significant risk, as lead exposure can lead to grave complications such as premature births, congenital defects, and miscarriages. Fortunately, lead poisoning can be averted through the diligent testing and remediation of lead-based paint.

Beyond lead paint, the United States faces additional common sources of lead exposure, including aged piping, outdoor soil, household dust, and contaminated drinking water.
