lead paint poisoning

lead paint poisoning.

lead paint poisoning is caused in 2 ways. First people actualy eat lead paint flakes moslt of them are kids. Second way is the dust from lead paint.

Peeling lead paint can cause lead paint poisoning very easy. The paint falls onto the floor. You can eat the paint chips off floor like some children and get lead paint poisoning or get lead on your hands from cleaning the lead paint up.

The lead paint chips on floor can cause real problems when you vaccum them up and even walk on them. You break the lead paint into smaller pieces and dust. This can be blown around if you vaccum it up and ingested into your body by your lungs. You can also ingest lead from the dust on counter tops and clothes and food.

Think of it this way any lead paint dust in the air can land on clothers hands or food. You then eat it even though you do not know it. Removal of lead paint should be done very carefully. Either hire some one or take the wood trim or door outside and remove the lead paint with chemical stripper not sanding it.

If you sand lead paint you will exspose yourself to large levels of lead and maybe damage your health. Most people do not realize that the dust is what gets most people in trouble not paint chips.

If you have lead paint chips or peeling lead paint first wet mop do not vaccum and are with paint chips. Second plan on removing lead as soon as possible. The only things worse than lead paint in the home is lead pipes for your water.

That is another story we will talk about and show you how to test for.

lead paint removal

If you fidn out you have lead paint in your home you can do a few things to make it better.

First you can paint over lead paint with a good primer sealer and then re paint surface.

This si to stop paint peeling and dust. If you have to remove lead paint i suggest a paint stripper not sanding lead paint. Sanding can cause lead paint dust and this is very bad and hard to clean up. You might make it worse by sanding lead paint then if you just paint over it.

If you have something that you need to save remoce the wood or door and strip the lead paint in garage or out doors with paint stripper. Make sute to wear gloves and mask. make sure to tjrow lead paint out in trash.

Useing a paint stripper is less dangerous than sanding lead paint so never sand any lead paint in my mind.

Some times it is cheaper and faster just to remove anything with lead paint. I know you can not remove a wall easy but to replace old dorr with new one or even trim and baseboard cn be cheaper and safeir way to remove lad paint.

If you replace old door you should sabve money on heating bills anyway. Most old dorrs do not have good weather stripping and a new one will have better heat savings and no eald paint. You kill 2 projedcts with one.

If you have any lead dust mop it up never vaccum and lead paint or dust up. This will spread lead into air and into your body.
