Why Lead Dust Testing Matters

 

• Lead poisoning affects over 500,000 U.S. children under 6 each year.

• Dust is the #1 way lead enters the body. Even invisible particles from old paint can be harmful—especially to children.

• Homes built before 1978 are very likely to contain lead-based paint. When this paint deteriorates or is disturbed (during renovations, for example), it creates dangerous lead dust.

• Lead exposure can cause damage to a child’s nervous system, leading to learning disabilities, behavior issues, and slowed growth.

• Adults, especially pregnant women and workers in construction or renovation, are also at risk from lead exposure.

 

Philadelphia Requirements

​

• As of October 1, 2020, all landlords in Philadelphia who rent units built before 1978 must:

• Have the property certified lead-safe or lead-free by a certified tester.

• Submit a Lead Safe Certification to the city every 4 years or sooner if required.

Lead Testing = Safety, Peace of Mind, and Legal Compliance​​​

​​

• Lead dust has no smell, no taste, and is invisible. The only way to know if your home or rental property is safe is by professional testing.

• DIY tests are not sufficient for certification or accurate health risk detection. Only EPA-approved sampling conducted by certified professionals will meet the legal standard.
