Lead in Residential Paint and Plumbing:
About 90% of pre-1940 homes and 60% of pre-1978
homes contain lead-based paints. In 1977 the Consumer
Product Safety Commission banned "lead containing paint"
prohibiting the use of such paint on products to which consumers
are exposed after sale (42 FR 44199). In 1986 the Environmental
Protection Agency banned the further use of lead pipes and solder
in residential plumbing. (Coluccio VM. Lead-Based Paint Hazards.
Wiley, John & Sons; 1997, p. 8-15)
