Older Bullhead City homes will be impacted by new remodel guidelines designed by the Environmental Protection Agency. For contractors involved in remodels on homes built prior to 1978, the EPA calls for lead training, certification, and safe work practice requirements. They hope to to erase the public health uneasiness of lead poisoning by the year 2010.
Lead is an extremely toxic metal that has been used for several years in paint. It can result in a variety of health problems and kids younger than six are more at risk since their nervous systems are not yet totally developed.
