Even if your house appears to be spotless, it may contain lead. Tiny quantities of lead can be found in most parts of the building.

Why is Lead in the home so dangerous?
If your home contains lead, you should be concerned, particularly if you have small children. When lead is exposed to the public, it can be hazardous. In recent years, no lead level is healthy, whether it is a small amount or a significant exposure. Children and pregnant women are at a higher risk of developing health issues when exposed to lead. Children are naturally more involved as they grow, and they can quickly inhale or ingest lead while playing. Children are more likely than adults to consume more lead due to their sensitive nature and propensity to eat anything that enters their mouth.
Lead has been shown to interfere with children's average growth and affect almost every aspect of their body, including the brain. Also, low levels of lead absorbed by pregnant women may pose a risk to the developing child. An expert should be hired to do the lead removal from your home before it becomes a health hazard.

Lead Removal Rochester NY - Common places to find lead in the home
* Paint-If your home was constructed in the early 1900s, you might be at risk of exposing your family to lead if you decide to remodel it. These early houses had lead-based paint, and when being renovated, the paint dust drops from the place and is easily inhaled by small children. While lead-based paint was banned in the United States, lead can still be found in home paintings from the early years. When doing lead abatement in your house, be careful not to leave any traces of the paint.
* The soil- Lead from early exterior paint on buildings and fences could have polluted the soil around your house. Digging lead out of the ground is the most popular lead remediation method.
* Water—especially if you have lead or copper pipes with lead solder—is another lead source in your home. If your house was designed in the early 1900s, you could have your pipes inspected by a plumber.
* Toys for children- children will want to chew on their toys and end up tearing them. Some of them may have been coated with lead-based paint, and some metal parts may have been joined together with lead solder. Imported toys and toys obtained from vending machines are more likely to be contaminated with lead.
* Household dust is another source of lead in the home. Households, especially early homes, were painted with lead-based paint on various surfaces, including walls, window frames, and doors, to name a few. When young children crawl around, they will come into contact with the paint and inadvertently ingest it.

Should your home be tested for lead?
Here is a checklist from the EPA to determine if your home should be tested for lead:

PenRoc Environmental follows EPA’s Lead Renovation, Repair and Painting Rule (RRP Rule) requires that firms performing lead renovation, repair and painting projects that disturb lead-based paint in homes, child-care facilities, and pre-schools built before 1978 have their firm certified by the EPA (or an EPA authorized state), use certified renovators who are trained by EPA-approved providers and follow lead-safe work practices.
If you think your house is polluted with lead, your family could be at risk of being exposed to it. Lead detection kits are available at your local home improvement store, but, they are not considered very effective.
