Was your home built before 1978? Lead-based paint could be hiding inside. 🏠To test your home for lead, have a risk assessment or lead inspection done. For a list of certified lead inspectors and risk assessors in your area, visit: 🔗 cdxocsppapps.epa.gov/ocspp-oppt-lead/firm-location-search Sellers, landlords, real estate agents, and property managers must disclose known lead-based paint or hazards before signing a lease or sales contract on a pre-1978 home. 📝If your child is ages 1–5 years and lives in a home built before 1978, don't let lead be the hidden supervillain. Talk to your child's healthcare provider about a blood lead test. 👶🏼🔗 To learn more about blood lead testing, visit: www.cdc.gov/lead-prevention/t#nationalleadpoisoningpreventionweeke#LeadPoisoningPreventionP#LeadAwarenessd#district2publichealthblicHealth ...
