      Risks And Regulations Concerning Lead Poisoning

      Risks And Regulations Concerning Lead Poisoning

      Published 10/21/2024 | Posted by Arda Clark

      One may think that with advances in infrastructure and healthcare, lead poisoning is a thing of the past. That’s not quite true, especially given the potential age of some homes. Lead-based paint was quite popular prior to 1978, and may still be present in homes built before then. That was less than fifty years ago, and homes can last quite some time, so there are still a lot of homes built before 1978.

      That’s why there are regulations in place. Federal law mandates three specific actions when selling a home built before 1978. One is disclosure obligations. The seller must provide any information they are aware of regarding the use of lead-based paint in their home, including any test result and abatement efforts. The second is a required form in the contract that outlines information about lead-based paint. Finally, buyers will have up to ten days to conduct a lead inspection or risk assessment. In anything is found, this will be necessary for their repair or mitigation negotiations.

      You may also be wondering what exactly lead poisoning looks like. The symptoms can differ between children and adults, and are much more severe for children. In either case, they occur due to exposure over a period of months or years. In children, lead poisoning can affect brain development, leading to slowed growth, learning disabilities, or behavioral issues. It can also cause hearing problems. In adults, lead poisoning can result in high blood pressure, muscle and joint pain, digestive issues, and problems with memory or concentration.
