Best Answer

Scraping or sanding lead paint creates large amounts of dust that can poison people in the home. This dust can stay around long after the work is completed. In addition, heating lead paint can release lead into the air.

Lead paint is a safety to hazard to children and pregnant women only or is it a safety issue for anyone?

Leaded paint can be a particular hazard to small children because they often stick anything into their mouths and so may eat paint chips. Stomach acids free the lead from the paint and the children then absorb it. Anyone who"burns off" leaded paint, or uses grinders or powered sanders to remove it may also be exposed to lead unless appropriate precautions are taken. A pregnant woman who is in a space where paint removal is creating a potential hazard may be at as much risk as a man, but her unborn child can be more seriously effected by lead if it is absorbed into her body. In some cultures, some pregnant women also eat dirt and so may absorb lead from paint chips that have fallen into the dirt, just as children who eat dirt may.
