PERSONS REMOVING PAINT SHOULD
ALWAYS FOLLOW THESE GUIDELINES:
WARNING: Extreme care should be taken
when stripping paint. The peelings, residue
and vapors of paint may contain lead, which
is poisonous. Any pre-1977 paint may contain
lead and paint applied to homes prior to 1950
is likely to contain lead. Once deposited on
surfaces, hand to mouth contact can result in the
ingestion of lead. Exposure to even low levels of
lead can cause irreversible brain and nervous
system damage; young and unborn children are
particularly vulnerable. Before beginning any paint
removal process you should determine whether
the paint you are removing contains lead. This
can be done by your local health department
or by a professional who uses a paint analyzer
