delead
Strip toxic metal
To delead is to remove lead from something, typically a building or home.
The term emerged from public health efforts to eliminate lead paint and pipes, which pose serious health risks, especially to children: The city allocated funds to delead older housing stock.
Deleading usually involves specialized contractors who strip, encapsulate, or replace lead-containing materials.
