| | Lead - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Lead was used as a pigment in Lead paint for white as well as yellow and red colors. | | | Paint containing lead has been withdrawn from sale in industralised countries, though many older houses may still contain substantial lead in their old paint: it is generally recommended that old paint should not be stripped by sanding, as this generates inhalable dust. | | | The earliest pencils actually used lead, though 'pencil leads' have been made for the last couple of centuries from graphite, a naturally occurring form (allotrope) of carbon. |

| | While lead paint that is in intact condition does not pose an immediate concern, lead paint that is allowed to deteriorate creates a lead-based paint hazard. | | | It is therefore of critical importance that lead painted surfaces be identified prior to the commencement of any renovation or remodeling work, and that lead-safe work practices are used during such activities. | | | The inspector will be able to tell you whether or not there is lead paint in the home, where it is, and the concentration of lead in the paint. |
