Lead in Your Home: A Parent's Reference Guide

To heighten awareness about lead poisoning prevention, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has developed Lead in Your Home: A Parent’'s Reference Guide. The Agency believes this is an essential resource for anyone—from owners to tenants—concerned about the dangers of lead in their home and environment. This Guidebook provides Agency recommendations on how you can reduce your family’s risk of lead exposure and prevent lead poisoning, ranging from simple steps you can do now to more rigorous procedures that will permanently get rid of lead hazards in your home.
