Can a tenant sue a landlord for lead paint hazards?

The Department of Environment issued a Cease and Desist Order (of all construction and renovation) to my property management company for several lead paint and work standard violations. There are children who lives in our building. If their blood level is high, can the landlord be sued?

Landlord or contractor, if their actions can be positively linked to exposure. Typically situations like this are based on failure to properly dispose of paint reside. It is considered proper to leave lead paint undisturbed if it is not flaking, so simple existence of the paint is not a violation. In renos, there are very strict procedures in place to remove and dispose of paint, far stricter than needed to prevent exposure to tenants.

Lead exposure needs very long term exposure to be an issue.

Cleaning / Painting a wooden porch?

I am interested in both the old paint (maybe take w /) from my porch, and then paint with paint course of weathering. I tried cleaning with a brush of a child, but all the paint "chips" Down On Me.

lead paint testing kits
are there lead detectors/kit that we can buy to check if our house has unsafe levels?

I have read somewhere (or maybe saw on tv awhile back) that some old houses have unsafe levels of lead, like in the wall paint, or the materials used. We are renting an old house (I’m guessing 1950′s or 1960′s) and it never really came to mind until I heard of lead, that can have bad effects on health. We are planning to have another child but we want to make sure to rule out anything that may affect our kid’s health.

So does anybody out there know if there is such testing kit or device to measure if our house has safe levels of lead ?

can you get affected by the lead in the the shot that you use?

and have you ever gotten tested for lead? this is mostly for the guys that shoot alot…since they use lead in most bullets and though the shooting and cleaning of guns i would think there would be some sort of lead influence with shooters. i’m just curious because at my job the painters get tested because there around lead based old paint all the time and we use to get tested for asbestos and other things all the time. just curious guys..what are your thoughts on this? should you get tested too?

I’ve been melting lead & casting & shooting lead bullets for years.
I always get a heavy metals screening on my blood test whenever I get a medical check up.
nothing above average has ever showed up.
its pretty hard to get lead poisoning. I’ve known 2 people who had it. 1 worked in a battery recycling & manufacturing plant & didnt wear his breathing mask (so he could smoke)when breaking up old battery plates & inhaled a lot of dust.
the other was a friends young son who got in the habit of chewing lead shot like chewing gum. the shot he swallowed showed up on x rays. the doc said if they had waited a day he would have already passed the shot & they wouldnt have known what was making him so sick & they would have probably have taken his apendix out..

Lead based paint home rental?

Ok, my wife and I were thinking about renting this home in Oklahoma. The landlord just now decided to tell us about lead based paint being inside the home, sent some pamphlet about the lead based paint. My question is since we have already paid the deposit and we have not moved into the home yet couldn’t we back out of the deal and get our deposit back? This is in the State of Oklahoma. Would like knowledgeable answers please, and provide source if you can. I would appreciate it.
FYI….we also have not YET signed a lease. So we haven’t signed a lease, nor have we moved in and he is just now saying something about lead based paint.

All “good” paint prior to 1978 had lead in it. But lead is not dangerous if it has been covered with a court of non-lead paint. As long as he painted it in the last 32 years you should be OK unless you chew on the house.

where can I find a job doing LEAD ABATEMENT?

Lead abatement is the removal or encapsulation of lead based paint. The reason I ask is because, I am a lisenced lead abatement worker.

I guess you know that St. Louis City is full of opportunity for lead abatement due to the old houses. It’s almost a given that you have lead paint issues if you live in the City.

Anyway, here’s a link to a program called Lead Safe St. Louis:

http://stlcin.missouri.org/leadsafe/

Perhaps you could call the Director and ask about opportunities? If they contract out, then ask who their top three contractors are.

You might also try calling the City’s Department of Health; someone there might be able to give you a few good leads. Here’s the contact info:

Removing Lead Paint From House

Renovating an older home with possible Lead Paint?

My husband and I have been completely (like every single room) renovating a house for the past 8 months. We have removed numerous walls and wall paper from four rooms. Our house was built in 1966. We never thought anything of it until we heard a commercial on the radio warning about lead based paint. Well I had a miscarriage in Sept and now we are very concerned that we might be exposed to lead poisoning (I’m going for blood work today). If we have been exposed to lead based paint dust for the past 8 months…what will they do for us?

REMAIN CALM !!!

Lead based paint was banned (reduced to 0.06% by weight maximum) in household paint in 1978.

HOWEVER !!! By the mid 60′s it was all but gone from store shelves. I have been testing for lead based for over 20 years. The chances that a 1966 house has it are 0ne in a million.

Lead based paint is defined as any paint, stain, shellac or other coating that contains 1.0 milligram of lead per square centimeter.

If you were sanding a great deal you could still have lead in your blood. And it MAY ! have been the problem with your child.

BUT !!! You don’t have to move. Just don’t do anymore sanding or grinding. Your body will throw off the lead in your blood stream over time. How much time will depend on how much you have on board.

For more info please read http://home.mindspring.com/~wrltc/lswp.pdf Its a book I wrote for parents doing re-modeling or having it done. And lead issues in general. It was paid for by a fed/state grant. Which means its your book as much as mine. Education about this subject is my job.

For more direct questions please contact me at wrltc@mindspring.com And feel free to pass this along to others.

Thinking of buying a house that has a history of lead paint provided by the sellers.?

documents of the municipality of the state of the house was treated for lead, taking into account a grant to remove etc. Is it unusual to do my own inspection of lead paint? Just to cover all bases? My real estate agent told me he was no longer need to recheck. Any ideas? Thanks

You need to understand the problems with paint containing lead. Millions of households have a picture somewhere on the premises. As the paint is peeling no (where children can ingest these scales), it is not of lead-based paint. Not somehow lead leaching into the atmosphere where it could be inhaled. The only time such a situation could occur is ARENA that if lead paint (try to delete) and then breathe the resulting powder. This creates a risk. You may request an inspection for lead-based paint, but other surfaces reveals these paintings can exist. These tests are very expensive, since all household surfaces should be tested to determine if lead paint is there. Was it worth the money, given the low risk involved in these paintings? This is your call. I think it's pretty ridiculous.

is wood paint lead based nowadays?

I live in the philippines and bought a second hand wooden table. I bought wood paint from a small family owned hardware store and painted it(not home depot or franchised) Can this paint be lead based even though i bought the paint only a year ago. Did all manufacturers of wood paint stop manufacturing paint contaminated with lead? I have a baby in the house.

Hi,

Lead paint is still used today, since it’s cheaper than the alternative safer paints. Also, not all countries have put a ban on the use of Lead paint or have the same restrictions.
If you are concerned and want to be sure, there’s a simple test you can do at home to check for it – follow the link I posted under sources.

Keep safe,

Learn To Paint Landscapes: 8 Basic Planning Tips

To learn to paint landscapes is to learn to be effective at planning. The idea is to make all the critical decisions about perspective, composition and even what supplies and tools to pack well before you even think about adding paint to the canvas.

It is an absolute myth that all great painters are just free spirits that only act spontaneously when the mood strikes. Consistently productive professional artists always refine their preparation routines in a way that positively impacts the final results of a painting. Here are 8 tips for successful landscape painting preparation.

1. First, take a walk around the landscape you wish to paint. It can be amazing how a slightly different perspective will reveal one of nature’s compositions that will just knock your socks off. Consider taking a sketch pad or even a digital camera to record your ideas as you walk about.

2. Select the time of day that the painting itself will take place. Picking the ideal time of day may mean investing an entire day starting at sun up and ending at sundown. Again, take photographs every few hours for later comparison. This may seem like a lot of unnecessary trouble but you may be surprised by the unique emotional impact found in the different periods of the day.

3. Decide the season to be represented in the painting.

4. Find a strong center of focus. This is usually an object that compositionally is so strong it demands your attention. All other objects in the painting should lead your eye to this object of focus.

5. Make test sketches before you begin painting. It can be amazing how interesting ideas will flow as you sketch. These same ideas would not necessarily present themselves by just looking at the scene passively. Some artists actually like to sketch the potential subject on the day before painting in order to solidify the composition. This allows them to focus mostly on the color aspect of painting. It is important to use the painting time wisely especially since the sun moves rapidly through out the day which constantly changes the emotional mood of the landscape.

6. Pack tools and supplies wisely. This is another activity that would be wise to do in a leisurely way the day before painting. It would be a shame to ruin the painting by forgetting some critical brush or paint color. Also make sure you include some food ,a first aid kit and some light rain gear. Over time develop a tried and true check list to make this effortless.

7. Consider returning to the same scene several times to paint at different times of day or different seasons to create a series of the same landscape. The continuity of this exercise can be a powerful educational experience.

8. Develop lots of basic landscape painting tricks and skills. Some of these might include learning to paint clouds, water drops, waves and surf, trees, flowers, gardens, lawns, rivers and roads just to name a few. One way to accomplish this is to acquire some of the many excellent painting tutorials available on dvd in stores or conveniently on the internet.

The bottom line is that speed is critical for creating art out of doors. Good attention to planning, organization and developing specific relevant skills will always produce positive results for those that wish to learn to paint landscapes.

Flood Cleanup Contractor _ Why You Should Hire One

If you have come in here to read this article, you are probably looking for ways to solve your flood problems. It is estimated that almost 2% of American households experience some sort of a flooding problem in a year. Floods can start from something as simple as a tap left open or they can start from broken pipes or over flowing sinks. Whatever may be the case, the most important aspect when it comes to basement flood cleanup or water damage cleanup is that they should be addressed in the fastest way possible.

If you have experienced flooding the wisest decision you can make will be to hire a flood cleanup contractor. Seeking professional help is very important as water damage cleanup when done improperly can result in a lot of losses.

Here are some of the possible dangers that are related to basement flood cleanup or any other type of water damage cleanup.

  • Structure of your home – Experts will quickly be able to assess any potential damage to the structure of the home. This is especially important where there has been heavy flooding. It is recommended that you allow experts to advice you of any potential damage to the structure or foundation of the building.
  • Moisture levels – Complete water damage cleanup is quite difficult to achieve because of moisture related problems. It is not just the stagnant water that is a source of problem for you. The water that is evaporating and being absorbed by various materials in your house such as drywall, paint, cement floors, wooden structures etc can also end up being damaged in addition to the surfaces that are in direct contact with the water.
  • A professional flood cleanup contractor will have various types of powerful equipment in the form of dehumidifiers, water extraction units and pumps to tackle the various problems posed in a basement flood cleanup.
  • Another very serious problem that you will not be able to tackle on your own is that of mold. When there is water damage, it will mean that there will be moisture damage as well which will lead to build up of mold. Only a professional flood cleanup contractor will be able to predict potential mold problems and prevent them before they happen.
  • All materials can generally be restored by a professional company as long as the water damage cleanup is carried out in a timely manner. The longer you wait, the lesser the chances are of saving your floors, carpets and walls.

Many people attempt a basement flood cleanup or a water damage cleanup on their own to save money. What they don’t realize is that more money can be lost than saved if the cleanup is not carried out in a proper manner. A professional flood cleanup contractor might require an additional expense for you although you can have the peace of mind that your home is being professionally cleaned up by people with expertise and experience in the field.

Challenges in the repair and maintenance of the bridge

In recent decades, employers cover using paint alkyd paint protection corrosion of steel bridges from corrosive elements that contain a significant amount of lead in its formulation. Through the years, repairs and maintenance performed on the bridge itself being used formulation type containing lead poisonous and harmful. Therefore, all repairs and maintenance of these bridges closed compound issues of logistics and cost.

Another challenge to overcome is that painting contractors because the cost of maintaining these infrastructures large-scale, these structures rarely received regular maintenance in the past. Consequently, painting contractors responsible for this bridge to make repairs and maintenance are often hampered by a serious deterioration of the structures.

The surface of the bridge and the Environment issue

With the public increasingly concerned about the safety of the environment, contractors painting the bridge found that most of the challenge facing bridge projects is respect for the rules and regulations. In recent years, painting bridge projects have been accompanied by public protests about the environmental impacts – from planning, implementation and post implementation implemented.

Lead Paint Banned

Should we ban items from China here in the States?

There’s lead paint all over so many items and they are being recalled….

Well, I think we in the United States need to get our act together and stop relying on so must of our imports for our basic supplies. Sure I know that it is cheaper that way, but I think America is becoming too dependent on China, and our support of their economy is allowing them to advance in leaps and bounds. Their GDP is expected to surpass our own in the next ten years if it continues at the same rate it did in 2006.

Lead Paint And Autism

Le succès du traitement de l'autisme de sang de cordon des cellules souches

Troubles du spectre autistique (TSA) causent une incapacité grave à penser, de sentir, et la capacité à se rapportent à autres et l'environnement d'une manière significative. Plusieurs fois, les maladies le long de ce spectre sont couplés avec des problèmes de nutrition et les allergies, qui créent des «complexe de symptômes» qui est plus difficile à gérer.

La TSA a incluent l'autisme (la forme la plus sévère) ainsi que d'Asperger et de Rett syndromes

Ces troubles sont généralement diagnostiqué pour la première dans la petite enfance, souvent après un tour de montagnes russes difficile affectif pour les parents qui font face à d'énormes défis dans la modification des habitudes de vie pour faire face à un enfant qui grandit physiquement, mais est inadapté psychosocial.

De nombreux traitements efficaces et les modalités de gestion existent pour ces conditions, avec un succès modéré, mais ils ne peuvent jamais être guéris. La plupart des enfants exigeront une certaine forme de soins à l'âge adulte. L'objectif principal de tout traitement en matière de TSA est d'améliorer le fonctionnement en maximisant l'indépendance fonctionnelle de l'enfant. 1

sur les cellules souches traitement a été utilisé par diverses entreprises prometteuses des remèdes ou des réponses étonnantes, et certains ont réussi, mais leurs méthodes de traitement et de la sécurité des cellules n'ont pas été divulgués. Les enfants sont exposés à des infusions répétées de vivre des cellules souches humaines qui peuvent être d'une pureté inconnue par une procédure de ponction lombaire en plus d'une perfusion intraveineuse. Beaucoup de parents ne savent pas ce qu'est un certificat de analyse ou ponctions lombaires répétées sont nuisibles et provoquent l'inflammation qui attire les cellules loin de leur cible.

Les recherches montrent que les cellules souches donnée par perfusion intraveineuse de migrer vers le système nerveux central à travers une membrane appelée la barrière hémato-encéphalique, et plus encore chez les enfants. Cela rend inutile infusions lombaire chez les enfants.

Regenecell utilise uniquement mésenchymateuses cordon ombilical humain dérivés du sang et de cellules CD34 + dans le traitement des patients, ce qui donne les cellules par perfusion intraveineuse. Ces cellules sont fabriquées selon les normes les plus élevées possible et n'ont jamais été mis en évidence d'effets indésirables chez les humains. Ils ne sont pas stimuler une réponse immunitaire rendant ainsi l'utilisation de stéroïdes inutiles.

L'utilisation de HG-CSF dans notre processus de traitement a encore amélioré la réponse à cause de ce facteur agissant comme un facteur de croissance neuronale dans le cerveau stimulation neuronale différenciation des cellules souches et la réparation des lésions tissulaires post neural. Cet agent joue certainement un rôle dans le développement des tissus nerveux. 2

En Juillet 2010, un médecin travaillant pour Regenecell en Inde traité un garçon de quatre ans atteint d'autisme sévère. Le médecin contacté le directeur médical de Regenecell de l'Inde, après avoir rencontré l'enfant et a dit qu'il ne serait pas en mesure de composer avec le stress de le traiter. Le garçon était si anxieux et hyperactif qui le médecin et son équipe pensaient qu'ils ne seraient pas en mesure de le maîtriser suffisamment pour une perfusion intraveineuse. Il a été décidé d'endormir l'enfant avec un médicament oral à son hôtel avant de quitter de sorte qu'à la fois il est arrivé, il serait endormi dans les bras de sa mère. Cela a bien fonctionné.

La condition de cet enfant pourrait se résumer par le biais de son évaluation Autism Treatment Liste de contrôle (ATEC) score, qui est une échelle de notation utilisée par les médecins pour déterminer la gravité de la maladie et le taux de tous les changements au fil du temps. Son score a été de 62, ce qui le plaçait dans un modérément gamme de graves.

Au lieu de vous donner les chiffres que je vais peindre une image de cet enfant. Il ne pouvait vous voir, mais ne pouvait pas communiquer avec vous. Il serait de communiquer avec un soignant à l'aide d'un maximum de quatre mots, mais ne serait pas en mesure de chaîne ces mots ensemble et avoir une conversation. Il ne serait pas affecté par ses parents de quitter ou de rester indifférent à leur égard. Il avait des crises de colère, a demandé l'uniformité et se retirait dans son propre monde par la fixation sur un objet ou à bascule.

Il apparaît une certaine conscience sensorielles et cognitives, mais ne pouvait pas l'intégrer dans son comportement et ne pouvait donc pas de développer une sensibilité à son environnement ou des relations. Il ne souriait jamais et ne serait pas conforme, surtout pas lorsqu'il est vu par nos médecin.

Avant le traitement, les parents sont invités à nous donner leurs attentes afin que nous puissions voir s'ils comprennent ce que nous leur avons dit et qu'ils ne s'attendent pas à une guérison. Cette attentes mère du garçon ont été d'augmenter la parole, l'interaction sociale et améliorer la capacité de la motricité globale, qui étaient tout à fait raisonnable dans le contexte elle a exprimé.

À deux semaines après le traitement de l'orthophoniste et les enseignants à l'école a voulu savoir ce que les parents avaient fait depuis le petit garçon tout à coup amélioré sa capacité à communiquer et devenait enseignable et plus calme avec moins de crises de colère.

Après trois mois, qui était la période nous lui avons demandé d'attendre avant de le tester, l'ATEC a été effectuée et son résultat a été de 39 remarquables.

Cette est extrêmement importante car elle donne une certaine assurance qu'il ne pouvait mener une vie semi-indépendante et le met à un niveau auquel il a pu développer les plans cognitif et de commencer ainsi à interagir avec son environnement social et matériel.

Nous attendons la prochaine partition.

Il est entendu que ce traitement a eu lieu en dehors des limites de tout essai approuvé par la FDA et que les résultats seront jugés anecdotiques, mais les résultats n'en sont pas moins étonnantes et sont basées sur la biologie des cellules souches saines et la sécurité des pratiques cliniques.

Le traitement procédé est propre à Regenecell et peuvent être consultés sur notre site Web.

Lead Paint Hazards

lead paint hazards
I have a cast iron pot holder from the 50s used to set hot pots on while cooking, is the paint on it leaded?

As the question itself informs, I have a cast iron pot holder, of the sort set on one’s stove top to place hot pans on while cooking. It has a few objects/people artsily designed into it which are painted various colors. The paint is in relatively poor condition, and flakes/peels.

Could the paint contain lead? Were all things from that era painted with lead paint? Is this a health hazard? Should I have it tested? How?

Brad, this is called a trivet, and yes it may very well be painted with lead based paint due to the age of the item. However, as it’s use is only intended to touch the outside bottom of a pot, the paint should be a non issue.

Lead Paint Heat Guns

How do I remove thick old glue from concrete stairs ?

I am trying to get rid of thick, old glue ( not sure shat type ) which had been used by previous owners to glue carpet down to the interior concrete stairs leading up to a friend’s flat.
I have tried using paint thinner and also using a chisel/mallet but to no avail.
Even if I manage to chip off the very thick lumps I would like to be able to remove it all so I can paint the steps for my friend as that is what they’d like doing. Some of it is really thin so just chipping away at it will take forever and still wouldn’t really be a brilliant result.
Someone has suggested I buy a heat-gun but I wondered if there was a product available (at a reasonable price) in the Uk which I could just put onto the steps and it would dissolve the glue so it could be easily removed. The least physical effort for me the better as I have health issues which mean I can’t exert myself too much (and my friend is even worse than me).
many thanks for reading this
K

I’ve used turpentine to remove carpet tile adhesive. I then followed that up with some mentholated spirits to remove any trace of oil and adhesive. Keep well ventilated, and don’t splash it around. Just a moistening of the adhesive or a cloth with which to rub it, you don’t need great pools of it.

Safe Lead Paint Stripper


16 Mar

Is it safe to strip lead paint whilst pregnant?

Hi, we’re refurbishing our house. I need to strip the lead paint off the fireplaces using a chemical paint stripper.

I’m pregnant and I’ve just read that to protect the unborn baby, pregnant women “shouldn’t strip lead paint and should stay well away if someone else is doing it”.

Can’t I just wear gloves? Or is there some airborne risk?

Thanks

Don’t go anywhere near it! Since you have already read that you should not do it yourself and keep well away, do you really want to risk your baby’s life? You DO know that lead is poisonous? Enough said!
