Lead may be found in paint, dust or soil and is a serious problem because it can enter the body through ingestion or inhalation. Depending on the level of exposure, lead can cause damage to the nervous system including, headaches, high blood pressure, digestive problems or muscle and joint disorders. Federal regulations require that residences and commercial buildings provide lead disclosures to buyers who are purchasing properties built before 1978. Testing in Gambrills is completed by a couple of different methods including paint surface samples by XRF analysis or paint chip sampling and analysis.
