How to Easily Contain Dust on Your Next Project

According to the US Environment Protection Agency (EPA) law effective April 22, 2010, dust consisting of lead must be contained.  Homeowners, construction workers, contractors, and builders all need to comply with this EPA requirement and contain their construction and dust debris. Because sanding, cutting, and demolition can create toxic lead dust by upsetting lead paint, lead dust containment is crucial. Even the tiniest amounts of lead dust can prove to be harmful to adults and children.
