Warning
When removing paint care should be exercised, particularly if the paint contains lead pigments. Buildings dating from before 1978
may well have been painted with lead-containing paint, which has subsequently been painted over. Before starting work, it is
important to determine whether the paint that you wish to remove contains lead. This can be determined using a lead test kits or by
a
professional paint contractor.
Lead and dust containing lead particles are extremely dangerous
.
Small children and
pregnant women are particularly endangered and should be kept away from renovation work in which lead-based paints are being
removed. When removing lead-containing paints you should ensure that the workspace is shut off from its surroundings. We
recommend that a dust-mask should be worn. You should not smoke, eat or drink in work spaces that may be contaminated by
lead. Do not burn off the paint. The hot air temperature should remain below 840 ºF
.
