lead paint
Banned wall covering
Lead paint is paint containing lead compounds, widely used through the mid-20th century for its durability and color retention.
Now banned for residential use in most countries because lead is toxic, especially to children, causing neurological damage.
Old buildings may still have lead paint under newer layers, requiring careful removal: The inspector found lead paint in the older units.
