As lead paint is widely recognized as a dangerous material in any situation, property managers should remove this potential hazard from their premises. However, whether from neglect or thoughtlessness, some locations still have a base of lead paint covering floors, walls, ceilings, or windows. This toxic presence can cause a variety of different health problems, leading to serious bodily harm for the person exposed to this paint.

How is Lead Paint Dangerous?

While it is on the wall, intact, and not being disturbed, lead paint is practically harmless. However, it is common for cracks or chips to develop. At this point, the paint becomes a serious health hazard. Whether broken down and inhaled in dust or collected on fingers and accidentally ingested, lead paint can cause a form of poisoning that may lead to the following symptoms:

• Vomiting
• Blue coloration around the gums
• Diarrhea
• Irritability
• Restlessness
• Headaches
• Chest pains
• Seizures
• Coma

If a person becomes exposed to lead paint in massive quantities and does not receive adequate treatment in time, the poisoning can become severe enough to result in death.
