A toxic heavy metal that was a common ingredient in paint and plumbing materials prior to being banned for residential use in 1978. Lead exposure occurs through ingestion or inhalation of lead dust or particles, which can cause severe neurological damage, developmental delays, and other health problems, particularly in children. Lead-based paint in older homes often deteriorates over time, creating lead dust that contaminates surfaces and soil.
Lead
A naturally occurring fibrous mineral once widely used in building materials for its fire resistance, insulation properties, and durability. When disturbed, asbestos releases microscopic fibers that can be inhaled, potentially causing serious respiratory diseases including mesothelioma, lung cancer, and asbestosis. It's commonly found in older insulation, floor tiles, ceiling materials, and pipe wrappings.
