lead-based paint in the united kingdom
the u.s. government and many states have regulations regarding lead-based paint. many of them apply to evaluating a property for lead-based paint. there are two different testing procedures that are similar but yield different information. lead-based paint inspections will evaluate all painted surfaces in a complex to determine where lead-based paint, if any, is present. the procedures for lead inspections is outlined in the united states department of housing and urban development (hud) guidelines, chapter 7, 1997 revision. the other testing is a lead-based paint risk assessment. in this testing, only deteriorated painted surfaces are tested and dust wipe samples are collected. this information will help the risk assessor determine if there are any "lead hazards". many property owners decided to get a combination of both tests to determine where the lead-based paint is present and what hazards are present as well. risk assessments are outlined in the hud guidelines, chapter 5. in addition, if a child is poisoned in a property, the owner may be required to perform abatement (permanent elimination of the lead hazard).
