[quote=Anonymous]By the 1960's, they were using a lot less lead on houses and even then typically on the outside (trim; exterior window sills; window frames; door frames; brick facades). It's possible you have some inside in a post-1950 house, but it's much less likely than in pre-1950 houses. Keep in mind that even if you buy a new construction house, there is still lead in the environment that you can track into the house on the soles of your shoes. Also, if your neighbor has a contractor sanding lead paint, it can settle on your house, car, etc. And of course, if your kid goes to the library, preschool, daycare, etc., he may be exposed there. Or by chewing on something made in China. Which is all to say that it's great you are thinking about the issue, but try not to get too carried away.[/quote]
