Adviron has been conducting removing lead based paint services to some clients that wish a turnkey operation. Under federal law one firm may provide the services of lead-based paint removal and consulting. Adviron is also a leader in keeping general contractors, painting contractors, and even lead abatement contractors within compliance of OSHA's 29 CFR 1926.62 "The
Lead in Construction Industry" regulation. Call and ask on how your contracting firm may avoid fines and penalties from OSHA and the USEPA.

Lead-based paint is hazardous to your health.

Lead-based paint is a major source of lead poisoning for children and can also affect adults. In children, lead poisoning can cause irreversible brain damage and can impair mental functioning. It can retard mental and physical development and reduce attention span. It can also retard fetal development even at extremely low levels of lead. In adults, it can cause irritability, poor muscle coordination, and nerve damage to the sense organs and nerves controlling the body. Lead poisoning may also cause problems with reproduction (such as a decreased sperm count). It may also increase blood pressure. Thus, young children, fetuses, infants, and adults with high blood pressure are the most vulnerable to the effects of lead.
