Did you know that establishments built before 1968 most likely used lead-based paint? Previously, lead-based paint could be used on any surface, though it is most often found on the exterior of a home or commercial building. Interior woodworking, doors, windows, and various other surfaces may also contain lead on older establishments. Before lead-based paint was outlawed by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, it was used for its durability, freshness, and user friendliness. Though seemingly handy for big projects, lead-based paint is incredibly hazardous and can cause a plethora of health issues.
