Lead-based Paint
Although lead-based paint was banned in 1978, this hidden hazard may still be present in your home today.
What is it?
Lead-based paint was used in the past for its durability and color retention, but its health hazards, especially to children, led to its ban in many countries.
What are the health risks?
Exposure to lead-based paint poses serious health risks, such as lead poisoning. This can then result in neurological damage, developmental issues, learning disabilities, behavioral problems, anemia, kidney damage, reproductive harm, hypertension, and more.

Asbestos
Often called a silent hazard, asbestos is a mineral fiber that can release microscopic particles into the air, posing a hidden but deadly threat to human health.
What is it?
Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral known for its heat and fire-resistant properties.
However, it's also a hazardous substance when its microscopic fibers become airborne, as inhaling or ingesting them can lead to serious health issues, including lung cancer and mesothelioma.
Although asbestos is not fully banned, limits are placed by the EPA that minimize its risks to life.
What are the health risks?
Although asbestos is invisible to the naked eye, it is easily inhaled. Once inhaled, the fiberous material sticks to your lungs, causing irritation and inflammation.
The health risks of asbestos exposure include life-threatening diseases like lung cancer, mesothelioma, and asbestosis.
Inhaling or ingesting asbestos fibers can lead to severe and often incurable respiratory and lung conditions, making safe removal and prevention crucial.
