A lead risk assessment is conducted to identify lead-based paint hazards, especially those that pose health risks to children and vulnerable occupants. The process includes visual inspections of deteriorating paint, XRF surface analysis, dust wipe sampling, and sometimes soil testing to determine where lead hazards may exist. Risk assessments may also include tests of potable drinking sources.
Risk assessments are often required when a child under 6 years old is found demonstrating an elevated blood lead level.
