[quote=Anonymous]Depends on where it is. Lead paint painted over on a stable surface poses no real health threat. But if you are talking about old wood windows, for example, that you intend to use, the friction can create lead dust that can be inhaled. I would highly recommend remediating any lead painted windows if you want to be able to open and shut them. And if you are doing construction on any potentially lead painted surfaces, you need to take extra precautions. Also keep in mind that if you have exterior surfaces painted with lead based paint it has likely gotten into the soil so avoid planting edible plants directly in the soil or letting children play in bare soil.[/quote]
