- Lead paint poisoning is entirely preventable.
- According to the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), lead-based paint in good condition (i.e., "undisturbed" leaded paint) is usually not harmful. Good maintenance of properties is key.
-  Since children under the age of six are the ones most affected by disturbed lead paint, protecting them from exposure to disturbed lead paint is crucial for lifelong good health. Again, maintenance of properties (residential units) is important.
- Virtually no "safe" blood level of lead in children has been identified.
- Any residence in Baltimore that was built before 1978 should be treated as though it contains lead-based paint, unless a lead-certified professional has issued a written assessment indicating that the entire residential property has been tested and concluded that it is lead-free.
- Ignoring a lead-based paint problem can be devastating to tenants as well as landlords.
