Do All Homes In Rhode Island Contain Dangerous Levels Of Lead Based Paint?

NO. White lead in paints and coatings for residential uses was banned by the US Consumer Products Safety Commission, effective January 1, 1978. Therefore, if your home was built after that date, it is considered lead free. In homes built before 1978 it is likely that the paints and coatings used contain some levels of lead that may present hazards. This is particularly true for homes built prior to 1960.
