Question: Our home is about 40 years old and we plan to do some major renovations this year, but I'm not sure if I should be concerned about lead-based paint. I remember our real estate agent had us sign some paperwork pertaining to lead when we bought the place. Can you give me any advice?
Answer: Anyone living in a home that was built before 1978 should contact the Enviromental Protection Agency (EPA) at 1-800-424-LEAD (5323) or visit their website (epa.gov) for more detailed information about lead in and around your home.
