WHAT IS LEAD PAINT?
Lead is a highly poisonous element found in smaller amounts in the crust of the earth. Lead has many beneficial uses. However, it has been proven to be extremely harmful to humans and animals. Lead is found in our environment. Air, soil, and water are areas where the existence of lead is plentiful. Of course, our home can also be a place where lead is found. Lead was commonly used in many products before research proved how toxic this element could be.
