LEAD DANGERS

What is Lead Based Paint?

• Lead based paint is found in nearly every home built before 1978.  Lead exposure poses a serious threat to most organs in the body as well as the central nervous system.  It causes severe learning disabilities and permanent organ damage.  Lead poisoning affects the kidneys, the immune system, and the mail reproductive tract.  It causes premature birth, anemia, reduced growth rate in children, weakness, fatigue and miscarriage.

• Until recently, anyone can call himself a lead inspector.  Within the last few years, the New York State Environmental Protection Agency has come forward with a very strict set of rules and standards that must be followed by all those people involved in the field of lead based paint activities.

ASBESTOS DANGERS:

What is Asbestos?

• Asbestos is a natural mineral fiber that was used for many years in a number of products.  It has since been proven to be cancer causing if inhaled or ingested and is considered hazardous and environmentally dangerous.

Why is Asbestos Dangerous?

• One of the primary products manufactured with asbestos was insulation for boilers and heating pipes.  This use is considered to be the most dangerous one since insulation deteriorates with age and becomes airborne from vibration, draft or nearby construction.  The airborne fibers are so lightweight that they take days to settle and easily are made airborne again for days.  Inhalation or ingestion of these invisible fibers causes asbestosis and several other types of cancers in the lungs and other parts of the body.  All asbestos insulation, even if it is in good condition now, will eventually be removed before it becomes a health and environmental hazard as well as an insurance liability.

• The photos at the top of this section show one of several different types of asbestos pipe insulation that is still present (and more friable than ever) in countless commercial and residential properties across the country.  Of course, a large percentage of those structures are in New York!  Most of the asbestos pipe insulation that is found is in buildings that are 30 years old or older, and the insulation is already friable.

• The process is a very delicate one and can only be conducted by certified and licensed inspectors as well as certified supervisors.  Whether you are selling or refinancing a home, or are concerned about the health of your family or tenants, rely on Olympian expertise for safe asbestos removal.
