Lead dust settles to the floor and gets on children's hands and toys. It gets into their bodies when they put their hands and toys in their mouths. The Massachusetts Lead Law requires the removal or covering, or interim control, of lead hazards in homes built before 1978 where a child under the age of six lives. Have your home tested for lead by a licensed lead paint inspector. Have lead hazards corrected using properly trained and licensed people.

Wash your children's toys often. Use contact paper or tape to cover loose paint until the home is deleaded. Wash dusty areas with any household cleaner. Use a spray bottle for the cleaner and paper towels to scrub the area. Run drinking water until it is cold.
