An Experienced Lawyer to Fight for Your Rights in Boston, Worcester, Springfield and Throughout Massachusetts When You Have Been Exposed to Lead Paint

Lead paint can lead to serious injury to children, which is why in Massachusetts there are steps a property owner must take to protect children from lead paint exposure. Thanks to the Residential Lead-Based Paint Hazard Reduction Act passed by Congress in 1992, when there is a landlord-tenant relationship, there are rules and obligations the landlord must adhere to also.

Exposure to lead comes from several sources, primarily the paint used in housing, leaded gasoline, and lead-contaminated drinking water.

Of these sources, lead paint and lead paint dust are the most common. Lead paint dust is actually more dangerous than lead paint chips because smaller particles of lead are more easily absorbed.

Lead exposure in children is linked with:

• Reduced intelligence
• Learning disabilities
• Low school graduation rates
• Criminal behavior

In adults, risks include:

• Increased blood pressure and the potential for stroke
• Kidney disease
• Cancer
