[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You absolutely need to be concerned about what has spilled and seeped into the ground (and not only contact through play, but also tracking into the house). I'd be very concerned about the soil being contaminated. Between oil, lead, and god knows what else, you could be buying a hazardous waste site. Have you gotten the soil tested? And what about lead testing for the house? Lead poisoning is absolutely no joke and has lifelong consequences for children.[/quote OP here. I hadn't thought about soil testing but that's something we can look into. As the other poster said, chemicals are everywhere, but maybe wouldn't hurt to find out what's in the yard to decide how to handle it. We're having some lead paint remediation done in the basement where the lead paint is flaking. We assume there is lead paint elsewhere in the house, as with most of the pre-1970 homes in this area, and are aware of the precautions. Thanks for your concern. [/quote]
