| Abstract | This study reports on personal airborne lead exposure levels of workers removing windows painted with lead-based paint (LBP) and having asbestos caulking. Abatement/Removal of windows with LBP and asbestos caulking is becoming a common practice in the United States by environmental firms. As a result of both asbestos and lead regulations, many state regulatory agencies are categorizing this type of work as abatement and specification requirements are being issued for such work. However, little information has been published on exposure levels to asbestos and lead during various work practices. Exposure results presented in this study provide some historical (objective) data for abatement of windows with asbestos-containing materials (ACM) and LBP. |
