Lead Hazard Information Pamphlet; Notice of Availability

This notice announces the availability of EPA's new lead hazard information pamphlet for renovation activities, Renovate Right: Lead Hazard Information for Families, Child Care Providers and Schools (Renovate Right). There is an increased risk of exposure to lead-based paint hazards during renovation activities, particularly for children under 6 years of age. To better inform families, child care providers, and schools about the risks and to encourage greater public health and safety during renovation activities in target housing and child- occupied facilities, EPA has developed a renovation-specific information pamphlet. This new pamphlet gives information on lead-based paint hazards, lead testing, how to select a contractor, what precautions to take during the renovation, and proper cleanup activities.
