NACHI LEAD-BASED PAINT The Past, The Present & the Future Presented by: Lee E. Wasserman CEO/President: LEW Corp. 5/22/2014
History, Characteristics & Uses • History dates back to 100’s of years • U.S. one of last major countries to ban use of • 1992- Then in 1992 President George Bush signed into law Title X • Elemental Lead is a bluish-white lustrous metal. It is very soft, highly malleable, ductile, and a relatively poor conductor of electricity. • It is very resistant to corrosion but tarnishes upon exposure to air Atomic structure of Lead
The Past • manufacture of paints • Batteries • gasoline • pigments • ammunition • electronic devices • ceramic glazes • medical and scientific • Equipment • radiation shields • tank linings • petroleum refining • solders • plumbing • cable coverings • bearings • caulking • Candle Wicks • Pool Cue • Chalk • Hair dyes • Varnishes • glass • plastics • crystals • pipes • equipment that handles corrosive materials •Imported ceramics •Folk remedies • Target shooting at firing ranges • Making lead fishing sinkers or lures •Stained-glass window •Glazed pottery Metal Alloys- Bronze, Brass & Steel •Imitation pearls •Insecticides •Lubricants •Crayons •,Playground equipment •Mini –blinds
Health Effects • lead poisoning in the United States continues to be a source of concern for health care providers. • It only takes a small amount of lead to cause lead poisoning. • When lead gets into the system it alters the way nerve cells signal each other, causing nervous system damage and effects to other major organs in your body • Lead exposure can harm unborn babies. Infants, children and pregnant women a • Adults can also become lead poisoned.
How do we get lead poisoned • ingestion/swallowing and breathing/inhalation • Sources: – Paint – Dust - Window sills and window wells • hands to mouth activity – Soil - Flaking paints and gasoline – Water - lead pipes & lead solder – Folk Remedies – Candy – Toys • Where there is lead paint, there is potentially lead dust, and soil
Health Effects of Lead • Damage to the brain and nervous system • Behavior and learning problems • Slowed growth • Hearing problems • Headaches • Health problems during pregnancy • Reproductive problems • High blood pressure • Digestive problems • Nervous disorders • Memory or concentration problems • Muscle and joint pain • Mental retardation • Seizures • Coma • Death Lead can cause a wide range of health effects !
Health Effects of Lead • Documented signs and symptoms of lead poisoning. – Irritability – Poor muscle coordination – Fussiness – Loss of appetite – Stomach pain or discomfort – Reduced attention span – Inability to sleep – Constipation •The only way to be sure someone does not have lead poisoning is to be blood lead tested.
Prevention  assess the paint on the interior and exterior of your home  trained and qualified individuals perform a Lead-Safe Work Practices or lead abatement  Paint that is intact is not a threat and should be kept in good condition.  Wet dust and mop frequently around window sills and floors to control dust.  using a High Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) filtered vacuum  Wash hands & face and hands before eating  If water has not been used for more than 8 hours let the cold water run for a few minutes, before drinking.  lead at their job or with a hobby they should shower before going home and launder their clothes separately.  If your home has lead based paint, renovation should not be done as a “do-it-yourself” project  Sanding, propane torches, heat guns and sandpaper should never be used by an inexperienced person on lead paint.
General terms • Interim controls- reduce temporarily exposure to lead-based paint hazards • Lead hazard control work- work to make housing lead-safe, • Lead-based paint- paint or other surface coating, contains lead equal to or in excess of 1.0 milligrams per centimeter squared (1.0mg/cm2) or in excess of 0.5% by weight • Lead-based paint hazard - not in compliance with the lead-safe maintenance requirements, chipping or peeling paint, lead dust levels that exceed regulations, lead-contaminated dust or soil or lead-contaminated paint that is deteriorated • Lead-Based Paint Inspection -surface- by-surface investigation • Risk Assessment - investigation to determine the existence, nature, severity, and location of lead-based paint hazards
The world is an ever changing and rotating place. • The Environmental field is a part of that world that is constantly evolving and changing due to a multitude of things. • Such as: – New Science (CDC Advisory) – New Regulations – New litigation? – New mentality/Expectation?

    Health Effects • leadpoisoning in the United States continues to be a source of concern for health care providers. • It only takes a small amount of lead to cause lead poisoning. • When lead gets into the system it alters the way nerve cells signal each other, causing nervous system damage and effects to other major organs in your body • Lead exposure can harm unborn babies. Infants, children and pregnant women a • Adults can also become lead poisoned.
  • 5.
    How do weget lead poisoned • ingestion/swallowing and breathing/inhalation • Sources: – Paint – Dust - Window sills and window wells • hands to mouth activity – Soil - Flaking paints and gasoline – Water - lead pipes & lead solder – Folk Remedies – Candy – Toys • Where there is lead paint, there is potentially lead dust, and soil
  • 6.
    Health Effects ofLead • Damage to the brain and nervous system • Behavior and learning problems • Slowed growth • Hearing problems • Headaches • Health problems during pregnancy • Reproductive problems • High blood pressure • Digestive problems • Nervous disorders • Memory or concentration problems • Muscle and joint pain • Mental retardation • Seizures • Coma • Death Lead can cause a wide range of health effects !
  • 7.
    Health Effects ofLead • Documented signs and symptoms of lead poisoning. – Irritability – Poor muscle coordination – Fussiness – Loss of appetite – Stomach pain or discomfort – Reduced attention span – Inability to sleep – Constipation •The only way to be sure someone does not have lead poisoning is to be blood lead tested.

    Prevention  assess thepaint on the interior and exterior of your home  trained and qualified individuals perform a Lead-Safe Work Practices or lead abatement  Paint that is intact is not a threat and should be kept in good condition.  Wet dust and mop frequently around window sills and floors to control dust.  using a High Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) filtered vacuum  Wash hands & face and hands before eating  If water has not been used for more than 8 hours let the cold water run for a few minutes, before drinking.  lead at their job or with a hobby they should shower before going home and launder their clothes separately.  If your home has lead based paint, renovation should not be done as a “do-it-yourself” project  Sanding, propane torches, heat guns and sandpaper should never be used by an inexperienced person on lead paint.
  • 9.
    General terms • Interimcontrols- reduce temporarily exposure to lead-based paint hazards • Lead hazard control work- work to make housing lead-safe, • Lead-based paint- paint or other surface coating, contains lead equal to or in excess of 1.0 milligrams per centimeter squared (1.0mg/cm2) or in excess of 0.5% by weight • Lead-based paint hazard - not in compliance with the lead-safe maintenance requirements, chipping or peeling paint, lead dust levels that exceed regulations, lead-contaminated dust or soil or lead-contaminated paint that is deteriorated • Lead-Based Paint Inspection -surface- by-surface investigation • Risk Assessment - investigation to determine the existence, nature, severity, and location of lead-based paint hazards
