How does a
lead-based Paint Inspection differ from lead-based paint Risk
Assessment?
According to EPA and HUD guidelines, a lead-based paint Inspection is
designed to sample and analyze the lead content of every painted
surface in a building or home. TORF Environmental Management believes
that this is especially helpful prior to renovation or demolition, or
for owners with multiple properties or units. The
"Inspection" tests paint for lead content, inside and
outside the structure.
A lead-based paint Risk Assessment is designed to identify the
potential and amount of lead exposure from painted surfaces. TORF
Environmental Management believes that this is especially useful for
individuals and families to answer the question—How safe is this
building/house/unit with respect to lead exposure, even if lead-based
paint is present? The "Assessment" tests dust inside the
structure and soil outside the structure for lead content.
