Lead Paint Enclosure New York City

This method involves the enclosure of the lead-based painted surface by material that stops lead dust and chips from being introduced into the environment.

Dust-tight barriers such as sheetrock or plywood are installed to protect against the release of the hazardous material into the environment. When the enclosure is eventually removed, the hazardous material is once again exposed and it usually has become more prone to being released into the atmosphere. This is why it is important to consider lead testing before beginning a renovation in your building or home.

It is very important that untrained or uninformed workers do not re-expose the hazardous areas unknowingly and endanger themselves and others by releasing lead into the building.
