is also legally defensible.

abatement or interim control work to only those painted surfaces
that contain lead.

district buildings and over 1000 housing authority units.

Childhood Lead Poisoning has
been identified as the #1 child health risk in the United States,
reducing IQ and causing a host of other permanent, serious health
effects. Adults also can suffer ill effects from exposure to lead
resulting in a myriad of health issues, affecting their quality of life.
Unlike other health issues, lead poisoning is entirely preventable.
The Federal Government has taken an
active role by formulating a plan to eliminate childhood lead poisoning
by 2010. New York State has adopted a similar plan by forming the
Governor's Advisory Council on Lead Poisoning. Cliff Olin
President of EcoSpect , Inc. is a member of the NYS Governor's Advisory
Council on lead poisoning.
The "Residential Lead Hazard
Reduction Act of 1992" ( Title X ) started it all with the Real
Estate Disclosure in 1996. That was followed by HUD's Lead Safe Housing
Rule in 2000. Since then, EcoSpect Inc. with EPA certified lead inspectors, has been providing lead
consulting services to all facets of society from private homeowners and
landlords to non-profit housing and government agencies.
