Lead poisoning is a big problem in Baltimore, particularly, and in Maryland, generally, because of the long-time use of lead (Pb) in Maryland factories, residences, and other commercial projects. Lead has a legacy history of being used in paint due to its role in maintaining a paint's color as well as its role in increasing a paint's durability.
Lead's toxicity was established as a valid concern that modern medicine in the early half of the 20th century could address with public health measures in the United States. In 1951, Baltimore was the first to ban the use of lead-based paint in new housing, starting a move towards abating the amount of lead (Pb) use in homes. Twenty-seven years later, in 1978, the federal Consumer Product Safety Commission instituted a nationwide ban on lead paint in the United States that affects residences and consumer products.
Many commentators consider Baltimore to be "ground zero" for lead paint poisoning cases. The major recipients of lead paint poisoning claims and lawsuits in Baltimore are residential rental landlords and owners.
