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.

paint removal!
ASBESTOS DANGERS:
What is
Asbestos?
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.

Asbestos!

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.
