Residential lead paint cases are prolific in both the Baltimore metropolitan area as well as Washington, D.C. The reasons are because of the age of many residential neighborhoods, the long-time use of lead(Pb) in company plants and plumbing, and the prolific use of lead in paint for many buildings, et al. In some neighborhoods in Baltimore, for example, lead is essentially everywhere in some quantity : in the paint, plumbing, ground, water, and even the air. Residential rental landlords are usually painted as the culprits in lead poisoning cases, but that accusation is not always accurate.
Lead paint was outlawed for residential and consumer purposes by the federal government in 1978. It was forbidden in Baltimore public housing years before that. However, after several decades of use, despite considerable lead removal and remediation efforts, legacy lead paint has continued to exist in certain Residential areas of Baltimore and Washington, D.C.
