in their paint. Lead dust from interior paints (even undercoats)
can accumulate on windowsills and ledges, while lead in exterior
paints can leach into soil.

- Dust from lead-based paint

Additionally, home built before 1978 are subject to Title X of the

disclosure of lead based paint in any structure you intend to sell or lease.
