Abstract
A survey of lead-based paint abatement projects in public buildings of Crawford and Erie Counties, Pennsylvania, was conducted during the time period January 1995 to March 1997. These survey results suggest that few lead abatement projects were performed during this time period. Projects that were performed commonly did not employ proper lead abatement practices as described by the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, and U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. These data suggest that most contractors and public officials have misunderstandings of both environmental regulations and required procedures for safe and effective lead-based paint abatement.
