True or False: Intact paint is always safe from lead-based hazards.

  1. True

  2. False

  3. Only if it is newly applied

  4. Only in well-ventilated areas

The correct answer is: False

The statement that intact paint is always safe from lead-based hazards is false. Although intact paint may appear to be in good condition, it can still contain lead, especially in homes built before 1978 when the use of lead-based paint was banned for residential properties in the United States. The presence of lead in intact paint poses a risk if it deteriorates over time or if it is disturbed during renovations, leading to the release of lead dust or chips. Therefore, the condition of the paint alone does not guarantee safety from potential lead exposure. Regular monitoring and risk assessments are essential, particularly in older homes, to ensure that lead hazards are effectively managed.
