Lead paint was banned from use in homes in 1978, however, many older homes still contain paint in the exterior and interior paint.

Lead paint in homes is a serious health hazard. It can cause damage to the brain, kidneys, nervous system, and red blood cells. It can also cause miscarriages and developmental problems in children. 
When lead paint is disturbed, it is the most dangerous.  If the paint is sanded or scraped, the dust
particles can be inhaled or ingested, and therefore cause serious health issues.  If your home was built prior to 1978, or you suspect that lead is present in the paint, there are professional tests that can be
