What is Lead? Where is it found? Is it present in the home I am purchasing?
The presence of lead paint is NOT included in your Inspection. As with radon, you cannot see, taste or smell the presence of lead in your home. Lead paint particles can be hazardous by breathing or swallowing lead dust. Also small children might ingest soil or paint chips containing lead.
The use of lead paint was banned in 1978

Lead Particulars that are ingested or dust that is inhaled is hazardous to your health.
