Industry groups are warning that the Environmental Protection Agency’s new zero-tolerance standards for removing lead dust in a property, which is meant to prevent lead exposure for children, could hinder access to affordable housing programs.

Last month, the EPA finalized stricter standards for removing lead paint dust in pre-1978 homes and childcare centers. The standards are focused on preventing long-term effects from exposure to lead, specifically for children, who can suffer behavioral problems, lower IQ, slowed growth, and other harms.
