The problems with lead paint IN a house is that crawling babies and some who could stand, would chew on the wooden window ledge inside the house which was done in lead-based paints.

That is a legitimate serious problem.

Lead paint on the outside of the house, not so unless lots of it got into vegetable gardens.

Lead dust - not much of a problem if you didn’t scour your walls with brillo-pads, and lead paint that has been covered with newer, non-lead paints should be any problem.

Much the same with asbestos. If you left the pipe covering alone, there would be very little dust.

There are legitimate health concerns involved here, as well as shyster-led illegitimate-gains politicians too. In California, science takes last place to charlatans and ambulance-chasers, all led by Democrat lunatic politicians.

{I’ve worked on lead-related environmental cases for almost 25 years so I know a thing or two about the subject. California is the worst state in the country re environmental lawsuits and they are proud of it).

I'll take your word about all of that, since you have experience/knowledge and all I have ( knowledge ) is what I've read in newspapers and heard on T.V.!

I'm sure that there was lead paint everywhere, when I was growing up; however, there were never any paint chips anywhere and with huge radiators in front of windows, I doubt that any kid who was teething, was about to climb on a hot radiator to chew on a window sill, back then.

Interesting, puppies like to do that more than the tykes....

Neither my kids nor my grandkids have ever chewed on windowsills. But then, we didn’t leave them alone for hours in the house and we fed them food.
