Lead exposure is a serious health risk that can cause a variety of issues in people of all ages. Unfortunately, lead use was incredibly prevalent in paint, stains, plumbing fixtures, and more for several decades, so it’s still quite prominent in older buildings.
If you’re occupying such a structure, it’s important to know about the complexities of dealing with any lead contamination and the importance of managing it effectively. Here’s how an environmental consulting firm, like Axiom Service Professionals, can help address and mitigate lead-related issues:
Lead-Based Paint Testing and Risk Assessment
One of the most common sources of lead exposure is lead-based paint, which was widely used until it was banned in 1978. If you own property older than that, it’s important to determine whether lead-based paint is still present.
Lead-Based Paint Testing and Inspection
Our team will conduct through testing and inspections to identify the presence of lead-based paint in your building. This process will involve taking samples from various painted surfaces and analyzing them to detect lead content.
Risk Assessment
Once the testing is done, we can perform a risk assessment to evaluate the condition of the paint and the potential for exposure. This will help determine if the lead poses a significant health risk, based on its condition and location.
Comprehensive Lead Management Services
Beyond testing and risk assessment, there are several other services that we provide to manage lead hazards effectively.
Lead in Drinking Water Testing
Lead can also enter drinking water through corroded plumbing. We can analyze your water supply for lead contamination, ensuring that you’re safe from lead-induced health risks.
Lead Abatement
If lead hazards are identified, we design and oversee abatement projects, helping you to navigate the process of removing lead sources safely. This includes preparing specifications for abatement and assisting in the contractor selection process through bid-letting.
Lead Air Sampling and Regulatory Compliance Guidance
Monitoring air quality for lead particulates is vital, especially during and after abatement projects. We provide lead air sampling to ensure that the air in your environment is safe. We’ll also offer guidance on complying with local, state, and federal lead regulations to help you meet all legal requirements and ensure safety.
