Another toxic substance that is prevalent in old buildings is lead. Lead was mainly used in the lead based paints. In 1978, lead was banned in the US, after its toxic nature was revealed. In fact, lead is one of the most poisonous metals known to man. Nearly 150,000 people die due to lead poisoning alone across the world. Lead affects every organ and system in the human body, slowly killing the person. Its effects are particularly strong in the children. Recognizing its effects on health, lead based paints have been banned in the country since 1978. However, the buildings that were painted prior to 1978 still carry the toxic lead based paints. Even when coated with fresh paints, the underlying lead based paint is still potent enough to cause significant harmful effects. Lead lends the buildings a particularly shiny surface. But, when these buildings are being remodeled, renovated or demolished, the individuals around the building can be exposed to dangerous levels of the toxic metal. When the paint chips, or dusts up, it can move from one place to another and spread its toxicity.
