Besides the usual pointed sources of lead poisoning in children from the ingestion and inhalation of lead paint chips, etc., from pre-1978 built residential units, and from furniture and toys, drinking water, soil,etc., it should not be forgotten that another major source of toxic lead is the ingestion and/or inhalation of lead dust. In older, metropolitan areas such as Baltimore, leaded dust is virtually everywhere in the air we breathe, water, clothes, soil, playgrounds, etc.
In particular, leaded dust in abundance can be generated into the air from lead abatement and removal projects, other renovation, home improvement and construction projects, as well as active industrial sites.
With respect to construction, home improvement and renovation contractors, Maryland and other state laws, as well as Federal law specifically mandates that anyone who acts as a contractor or supervisor on any pre-1978 built residential rental property, for any of the types of work mentioned above, shall be certified or accredited by the proper state or federal agency. In Maryland, that qualifying and certifying agency is the Maryland Department of the Environment (MDE).
Do-it-yourself or handyman work of this type, supra, is not appropriate nor lawful on pre-1978 constructed residential rental property.
