Lead
Lead was commonly used in a lot of products in the past, the most widely known being in paint. As we now know sustained exposure to lead can cause severe health issues such as kidney problems, brain & nerve damage or infertility.
Short term exposure can cause headaches, tiredness, irritability, constipation, stomach pains, nausea, weight loss or anaemia.
It is important that lead paint be removed by a specialist who can take appropriate safety steps to ensure a safe removal project and appropriate disposal of the removed substance.
AC&MS provide such a service; we can sample and identify whether there is lead content to the paint and then supply specialist contractors to carry out the removal and disposal.
So if you have a property in which you suspect the presence of lead paint, don't delay, contact AC&MS for a professional removal service.
Remember, lead was also used in the paint for a lot of old toys. Children are particularly at risk from lead poisoning so don't let them play with Grandad's old fire engine or soldiers unless you are sure that the paints are lead free.
