- Abstract
- Methods currently used to control the hazard caused by leaded paints in housing vary in effectiveness from complete elimination of the hazard to a minimal effort that runs a high risk for recurrence of the hazard. A series of guidelines has been drawn up to acquaint municipal planners and other decision makers with the factors that should be considered in implementing a hazard elimination program. Formats are presented to describe attributes of the various methods that should be considered.
