Lead based paint is defined by Federal standards as any paint or surface coating that contains lead equal to or in excess of 1.0 milligram per square centimeter or more than 0.5% by weight. Lead paint was used to add color and durability to paint in homes built during or before 1978. In 1978, the Consumer Products Safety Commission banned the sale of lead based paint for residential use.

The probability that a home has lead based paint is:
Homes Built Pre 1940 87%
Homes Built 1940 to 1960 69%
Homes Built 1960 to 1978 24%

Health Risks of Lead
Children are at a greater risk than adults because their bodies are developing. They are more likely during normal activity to swallow or inhale dust from their hands, toys, food, or other objects. Lead can cause nervous system and kidney damage, decreased intelligence, attention deficit disorder, learning disabilities, speech problems, language and behavior problems.

Pregnant women may experience miscarriages, premature births, fetus brain damage, and low birth weights.
