- Abstract
- This report describes the second stage of an experimental lead paint hazard abatement program carried out in 80 dwelling units in Atlanta, Georgia. The entire program will ultimately involve the abatement of lead paint hazards in a total of approximately 250 dwelling units and distributed over three or more cities. The procedures demonstrated in this field testing program were: Paint removal using chemical solvents; paint removal using three heat producing devices; the replacement of components such as windows, doors, and wood trim and the installation of flexible sheet materials, rigid boards, plaster products and aggregate filled coatings, over existing lead paint on walls. Also evaluated was the covering of deteriorated, lead paint coated floors with plywood. The report includes procedure for inspecting and selecting dwellings for lead paint hazard abatement, evaluations of the suitability and implementation characteristics of the abatement methods, and recommendations for their use.
