Lead paint gets into our bodies through swallowing something with lead dust on it or through breathing air that has lead contaminated dust in it, such as when sanding surfaces painted with lead containing paint. It is hazardous both to adults and children, but more so to children, due to their small size and their still developing bodies and brains.
Homeowner’s doing their own remodeling are not required to follow the EPA rules, but it would be wise to use the lead safety precautions just to be on the safe side.
Happy remodeling!
