What is the name of your state? MA
I just found out that my ex and her new boyfriend are buying an older "fixer upper" farmhouse that has lead paint in it. I am concerned for my daughter's health. They are going to be doing work to this house while they are living in it, and I have heard that disrupting the lead paint (scraping, sanding etc) can create airborn particles that kids can absorb into their systems easily. I haven't done enough research yet to figure out if this is a valid health concern or not, but has anyone here ever dealt with this issue? Can I ask that she not live in this environment if it is a risk to her health?
