The New York City Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention Act (“Local Law 1”), enacted in 2004, required the Department to investigate the potential sources of lead in the home and elsewhere when it receives a report of children under 18 years old with a BLL level at or above 15 mcg/dL.[1] [8] Complementing Local Law 1, the Health Code currently defines “lead-based paint” as paint with a lead content of 1.0 milligrams per centimeter squared (mg/cm2). It also requires that:
Multiple federal laws regulate non-paint sources of lead, including the Consumer Product Safety Act, the Federal Hazardous Substances Act, the Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act, and their attendant regulations, guidelines, and other publications. These federal laws, regulations and guidelines provide baselines for permissible levels of lead in consumer products and other substances nationwide. Combined, these laws and regulations provide a continuously evolving set of complex standards by which products and substances are regulated to protect the public health. Some states and localities have taken steps to augment the federal standards. In New York State, Education Law § 6818 bans the sale of cosmetics containing poisonous or deleterious substances. In New York City, Administrative Code § 17-189 prohibits the sale of lead-containing candy and litargirio. California and Minnesota have made lead levels for adult jewelry closer to that required federally for children’s jewelry.[2] [9] [3] [10] Many states have also adopted the federal standards for lead content in children’s toys.
