• Corporate Authors:

• Description:
  Removing old paint or other materials that contain lead by blasting with abrasives, sanding, loosening or cutting with a torch, or scraping can create lead fumes and dust. The lead dust can be breathed in and can settle on your clothes and hands. It can get into food, drink, and anything else you touch. It can be carried away from the job on clothing, lunch pails, and shoes. Lead dust that stays on your' clothes can harm the people you live with, especially children. Coming into contact with lead (called lead exposure) can seriously damage the lungs, brain, liver, and other parts of the body. [Description provided by NIOSH]
