Claim Text:
1. An encapsulating system for abating and mitigating contamination from lead-based dust, particles and/or chips in a construction repair, renovation or removal operation and minimizing exposure to lead-based hazardous materials, comprising: a. A portable and adjustable framing mechanism adapted to surround a contaminated work-piece installed in a work-area and requiring remediation; b. a flexible and durable plastic encapsulating container positioned within and supported by the framing mechanism, the container creating a working and collection space having at least one open-end for surrounding and sealing off the contaminated work piece from the interior of a work area, wherein the open-end of the container is adhered to the work-area and substantially surrounding the contaminated work-piece, enclosing and isolating the contaminated work-piece; a second seal for the open-end of the container to keep particles and dust therein before removing air from and collapsing the container and thereby containing hazardous lead-based materials during the construction repair, renovation or removal operation.
