What about Lead Based Paint (LBP)?

Lead-based paint is paint that contains lead, which was commonly used in homes and buildings before it was banned in the United States in 1978. It was known for its durability and ability to withstand harsh weather conditions, but it is extremely hazardous, especially when it deteriorates or when dust is inhaled. Lead exposure can cause serious health problems, particularly in young children, including developmental delays, learning disabilities, and in severe cases, poisoning.
