Muscle damage can be in the form of tearing (part or all) of the muscle fibers and the tendons attached to the muscle. The tearing of the muscle can also damage small blood vessels, causing local bleeding, or bruising, and pain caused by irritation of the nerve endings in the area.
This handbook summarizes requirements of EPAâs Lead-Based Paint Renovation, Repair and Painting. Program Rule, aimed at protecting against lead-based paint hazards associated with renovation, repair and. painting activities. The rule requires workers to be trained to use lead-safe work practices and requires renoÂ­. vation irms to be EPA-certiied; these requirements will become effective April 22, 2010.
1 Lead may be released from old paint in home environments if the paint is disturbed (e.g. , renovation), deteriorated (peeling, chipping, and chalking), or subject to friction or impact (doors, windows, porches, etcâ¦). 2  The past use of lead in gasoline and paint can result in high lead levels in soil.omes and Buildings. Lead was banned from consumer use paint in the U.S. in 1977. Even though leaded paint may be covered with non-leaded paint, lead may still be released into the home environment by peeling, chipping, chalking, friction, or impact. Lead may also be released through past or ongoing home renovation.
