Lead Paint Manual

This manual provides an overview of the relevant state and federal laws pertaining to lead-based paint poisoning. This document also includes summaries of case law addressing lead poisoning. The Coalition to End Childhood Lead Poisoning’s Handbook for the Prevention of Childhood Lead Poisoning in Maryland was the primary resource used to locate all state and federal laws, and is an excellent resource for further information on lead poisoning.

This manual was created by Brittany White, a law clerk from the Upper Eastern Shore office.
