The Nat tend furcaa r: Standards (NBS) is providing technical iss;stance ta the Department of Housing and Uv-uan development ir. the perforr.ar.ee of this mission. P.ccen: estimates made at v;3S indicate that z,*prexi.-at:'.v 30 million dwelling units, currently standing, have jeer, coated with lead paint. Total cost of eliminating the hacard range from $2 billion to Sid billion. Since most of the presently known cases of childhood lead poisoning can be traced to load paint ingestion, it is desirable to make this paint inaccessible to children. Methods such as pain: removal by sanding and/or scraping, and covering cm with mate rials sach as gypsum hoard, plywood, and fabric arc presently being used for this purpose m those cities having active detoxification programs. It is expected mat ir. the near future large scale programs to remove the causes of this childhood affliction which affects hundreds of thousands of children each year will be undertaken. A need exists to evaluate innovative materials and tech niques for the detoxification and rehabilitation cf de teriorated housing containing lead paint. 2. Objective The demonstration of the hazard elimination technology program as stated in Sec. 301 under Title HI, PL 91-6?3, Federal Demonstration and Research Program, is: "The SwcreUiry of Ilnur inp. ami Urban Ocvvlupmcnt, in consultation with the Sc rotary of Health, 0007--SWP--036505 0007-SWP-000117830 Ziuca;::-.. ;n rlfzre. i-.r.i: ia\ ilz- z-,1 :irr" cut 1 dc-cr.itnt .or. r.r.c rzsezrz.. :::;rr : cc- ;er-inc me r.zc-ra z-.z ;-.zc~.z zz : ; -rrrl.- lz3i-cis:c mi-t ro-.sm mg :r. : e particularly it . -rear, crocs. cr._ z's -zz zzs -lucr. lezi-iaseu ram: :zu -zs: effect..si.- is rc-zvez frc-. interim jurists-, :crc ;s. ;\- : m i; r surfaces tz c'-.iZcvon _i z: zz- exposed, zf resizer-ticl ecus it . 3 . . ."

Scone of V.'ork This Document invites responses from Trade Associations. Manufacturers, Suppliers of Building Materials, Suppliers of Services, Trade Unions, Labor Organisations and Community Organisations to demonstrate the removal and/or rendering hazardous lead-based paint inaccessible to children. To provide a serviceable coating or covering that is suitable for residential dwellings ar.d is not or will not become hazardous to the safety and health of the occupants. a.

Cost factors can be assigned to many of these cans iterations since they involve both title and labor. Attributes that should be considered include: Hazard Inaccessibility Accessibility to residual leaded -.atcrial is related to both the degree of hazard elimination end the celea-li-g raethod used. The r.ethods presently in use crevice varying degrees of solution. In deciding how high to remove or cover up the lead, one -.ust consider z.-.e accessibility of the remaining hazard and its potential danger to children. Snccial Preconditions Certain conditions are required before many hazard removal techniques can be implemented. Tor example: if a facing is to be put up witn adhesive, all Isose material should be removed from the surface to be covered and the surface must be free of moisture, oil, dirt, etc. If rigid boards are cb be applied there-ere certain support requirements for the boards, degree of planarity, support spacing*, etc. Installation Health and Safety Many of the available hazard re oval techniques have health problems associated with them. For example: 00Q7-SWP-036509 r i 0007-SWP-000117834 *_ removing lanced -sines bv sar.c:- fire haterd, setting '.:r::us r:s rise to a fine cast cm sc Ancillary ark Certain deieadir.g praccdures -ay require cssline 1 to be Jone'm conjunction '-it.'. i::r!ic-:er. tens- tz technique. I'or example: putting up >all oard -cy require the relocation of plumbing / cleciricnl and heating fixtures. '..'aste Oisnosal Care should be taken to ensure that leaded -.astes ere disposed of in a manner that will render than inaccessible to children. Other waste materials should oe disposed cf in a manner such that they do not present a ha card. Community Involvement Community involvement is the degree to which a. r.ethed allows the utilisation of skills, either available :r potential, that can be found in a community. Factors such as health and safety, cost, and/pr level of training required will determine the extent to which a method lends itself to community participation. Since limited funds are available for deleading, and cost savings can be realised by utilisation of "selfhelp" labor, certain advantages can be gained by selecting hazard removal methods that lend themselves to the use of semi-skilled and unskilled labor. A secondary spin-off from using this type of labor is tho training given in the course of carrying out a community action progran. The skills gained can give the people involved a chance to improve their lot in life. Occupant Involvement Occupant involvement is a mcnsu.c of the amount of inconveni ence that the occupant of a dwelling unit is exposed to m the 0007-SWP-036510 J 0007-SWP-000117835 K. - ne'tl.ods reo-i Occrge :i .-:r.:sh -.jny :e.:t ion tec'.ti: .:.c --i o - c in a crude uni ini shei sf.to -~irss '-r: :r 1:: 15 . *ork is done.
