Lead can be found in interior and exterior paints or in plumbing as lead pipes or lead solder on copper pipes. Lead-based products are recognized as potential health hazards and should be monitored and controlled. Exposure to lead can be damaging, particularly for children less than seven years of age whose central nervous systems are still in a critical stage of development. Lead is also a concern for construction and demolition workers, painters and welders, who may be exposed to lead-containing dust and vapors during renovation and demolition projects. Some health affects are delayed development, major organ failure, coma and death.
