Allegheny Lead Safe Homes Program
Was your home built before 1978? Allegheny County is providing free home repairs to keep families safe from lead paint.
Lead is most dangerous to children under age 6 because their brains and nervous systems still are developing. When they put their hands and other objects in their mouth, they can swallow lead-paint dust, which can be invisible to the naked eye. Children also can be exposed to lead by ingesting soil, food, or water containing it.
THERE IS NO SAFE LEVEL OF LEAD.
