Lead-based products have been internationally recognized as potential health hazards. Exposure to lead can be harmful, particularly for children less than seven years of age whose central nervous systems are still in a critical stage of development. Lead is also a concern for construction and demolition workers, as well as painters and welders who may be exposed to lead-containing dust and vapors during renovation and demolition projects. Potential side effects include:
- Delayed development
- Organ failure
- Coma
- Death
At Highpoint Environmental, we specialize in the safe containment and controlled removal of lead-based paint and dust. Our team of highly-trained professionals is skilled in the latest abatement techniques from containment and abrasive blasting to full scale chemical stripping of structures.
