Lead Based-Paint Was Banned In 1978
Lead paint was banned from residential painting in 1978 by the Environmental Protection Agency because it was found to cause severe health problems. The health hazards of lead paint are most well-known as regards children, in whom lead poisoning causes developmental and learning disabilities as well as behavioral problems. However, lead poisoning from lead paint also affects adults, and can cause organ damage, seizures, impairments in brain and nervous system functioning and, in high doses, death.
