While regulation has helped to minimize the use of lead in and around households,
the continued contamination of lead in our society maintains staggering statistics:
- Approx. 38 million homes in the U.S. contain lead; 25 million are hazardous
- Almost two-thirds of those with hazardous conditions are middle income
families. - Of the 28 million hazardous conditions, 5.6 million have children under the
age of six living inside them. - Disturbing paint through renovations and remodeling increases the overall risk
of lead poisoning - The Center for Disease Control and Prevention lead poisoning statistics show
an estimated 890,000 U.S. children ages one to five have elevated blood lead
levels.
