Forecasting lead paint abatement costs :

Abstract

This research was conducted under the sponsorship of the Department of Housing and Urban Development by the Applied Economics Group, of the Center for Building Technology, at the National Engineering Laboratory, National Bureau of Standards. This report provides public and private decision makers with a computerized procedure for estimating the costs of lead-based paint abatement. This procedure is based on lead-based paint abatement cost figures collected during an extensive field test program in which lead-based paint hazard abatement activities were carried out in approximately 200 dwelling units .
