There are unfortunately about half a million children in the United States alone, ages ranging from 1 to 5, with blood lead levels in the range above 5 micrograms per deciliter (ug/dl), the reference level at which the Center for Disease control (CDC) recommends public health actions be initiated. Lead paint poisoning in Baltimore is a public health crisis.
However, according to the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) lead paint by itself is not dangerous unless it has been disturbed in some way; such as chipping, lead paint dust, etc. The key,then, for landlords with residential units (houses and apartments) that were built before 1978 is maintenance of their properties. Lead poisoning is preventable.
It must be noted that lead can be found in a variety of sources, other than pre-1978 built residences:
For example:
- some foreign-made toys;
- water pumped through leaded pipes;
- imported items, including clay pots, etc ;
- certain consumer products such as candles, make-up and jewelry; and
- certain imported home remedies.
