HAZARD: POISON
Extreme care should be taken when stripping paint. The peelings, residue and
vapors of paint may contain lead, which is poisonous. Any paint applied to homes
before 1950 is likely to contain lead. Any paint manufactured before 1977 may
contain lead. Once the paint is deposited on surfaces, hand-to-mouth contact
can result in the ingestion of lead. Exposure to even low levels of lead can cause
irreversible brain and nervous system damage. Young and unborn children are
particularly vulnerable to lead poisoning.
Before beginning any paint removal process you should determine whether the paint
you are removing contains lead. This can be done by your local health department
or by a professional who uses a paint analyzer to check the lead content of the paint
to be removed. Lead-based paint should only be removed by a professional and
should not be removed using a heat gun.
PREVENTION:
• Move the work piece outdoors. If this is not possible, keep the work area well ventilated. Open the
windows and put an exhaust fan in one of them. Be sure the fan is moving the air from inside to
outside.
• Remove or cover any carpets, rugs, furniture, clothing, cooking utensils and air ducts.
• Place drop cloths in the work area to catch any paint chips or peelings. Wear protective clothing
such as gloves and safety glasses.
• Work in one room at a time. Furnishings should be removed or placed in the center of the room and
covered. Work areas should be sealed off from the rest of the dwelling by sealing doorways with
drop cloths.
• Children, pregnant or potentially pregnant women and nursing mothers should not be present in
