- Abstract
- The report describes the elimination of the potential ingestion hazard of lead bearing paints in a one bedroom apartment using materials and procedures that are undergoing laboratory and field evaluation by the National Bureau of Standards (NBS). Paint removal was used to eliminate the hazard from some surfaces and two nonhazardous membrane type coverings were installed as barrier materials over the residual leaded paint on other surfaces. The preparation and refinishing of the interior surfaces are described and work rates and cost data are presented. This pilot demonstration is the first of a series of studies that will be used to determine the merits of various lead based paint hazard elimination methods when applied to actual housing conditions. Final recommendations for further use of materials and systems, described in this report, are not presented due to the preliminary nature of this work. The completion of the projected series of demonstrations and the long term evaluation of the in-use performance of the materials and systems will be required before final recommendations can be made.
