school, or other structure

legally defensible.

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

surveys on over 1000 single family homes, 35 million

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.
Training Providers
Identified as experts in the field, EcoSpect has provided
training on lead based paint
since 1998.
