A Pilot Study Examining Changes in Dust Lead Loading on Walls and Ceilings after Lead Hazard Control Interventions

Abstract: The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) guidelines on lead hazard control instruct contractors to dean floors, windows, walls, ceilings, and other horizontal surfices to remove lead-contaminated dust and debris after lead interventions are conducted. This dust removal activity adds costs to each project. The need to dean floors and windows is well documented in. the HUD gdelines. However, there is substantially less documentation to support the recommendation to dean wails and ceilings. We e… Show more

“…BLL increase is determined by adding the increased lead burden to a base level of 10 gg -dl-1. For example, in the table, 100 ng -ft -2, BLL would be increased from 10 to 13.4 pg -dlor 15 Suggested value for an industrial facility, if surface levels are to be considered for clearance, which may not be applicable since this is 'historically' viewed as only an occupational environment. This level results, from calculations, in a BLL that is below the OSHA maximum BLL of 40 ~tg -dl-1.…”

“…Lead loading was established as the final clearance criterion for lead abatement conducted in residential settings, public housing and locations frequented by children (e.g. day centers, child-occupied facilities) [7, 14,15]. These standards were established to reduce a blood lead level (BLL) in children to a concentration below 10 gg Pb ~ dl-1 and are based on an association between dust lead loading and BLL [ 16].…”
