The " action level" for lead-based paint (LBP) established in the Lead-Based Paint Poisoning Prevention Act (LBPPPA) amendments in the 1987 Federal Housing Act is a lead content of 1.0 mg,cm2 as measured by an XRF analyzer. It has gradually gone down over the years. Some state and local regulations have set a lower level at 0.5 mg/cm2. Since there is understandable concern by many over the reliability of XRF results at these levels, these Guidelines recommend backup chemical testing utilizing AAS or inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry )ICP-AES).
When using chemical testing, the action level is either 0.5% by weight or 1.0 mg/cm2.
