As part of our inspection report we should include a: - ANS-Table of the sample results listing
findings by components, floor plan of the house, and summary of positive findings.
As part of the risk assessment report, the report should include information about: -

measure / on-going control measures for maintenance for lead.

- ANS-Each wall in each room equivalent.
Carcinogen - ANS-substance which causes cancer
CDC/CPSC definitions of "lead based paint" - ANS-0.06% by weight - recently revised to
0.009% by weight
, Chemical and toxic substances may disturb normal cell development or function -
ANS-Carcinogen - substance which causes cancer, Mutagen- agent that triggers changes
and mutations in the genetic metrical DNA, Teratogen- agents that cause a spontaneous
abortion or birth defects
Components are considered intact when - ANS-entire surfaces are intact
Composite sampling, when collecting dust wipe samples means: - ANS-We collect samples
from common components in different rooms and analyze them as one sample.
Compositing wipe samples are: - ANS-Generally discouraged as part of a full risk
assessment.
EPA and OH lead hazard levels for FLOORS, WINDOW SILLS, and SOIL - Play areas and

0.04% and other/none 1200ug/g or 0.12%
EPA certification recognizes the following work discipline: - ANS-Inspector, Risk Assessor,
Supervisor, Worker, Contractor
EPA currently recommends that we respond to lead in bare soil when children are present, if
the levels are above: - ANS-400 ug/g
EPA currently recommends that we respond to lead in bare soil where children plan, if the
levels are: - ANS-400 ug/g
EPA has defined a child-occupied facility to mean: - ANS-2 days a week, average at least 3
hours a visit, totaling 6 hours a week and 60 hours annually
EPA recommends that we use XRF instruments for which HUD and EPA have developed: -
ANS-Performance characteristics sheet
Even after the lead-based paint has been weathered, chipped, peeled, or removed from
painted surfaces it can still be available as a potential exposure source through. - ANS-soil
around the house and play area, contaminated dust within the house ( carpet and
upholstered furniture), contaminated dust on paved areas around the house, on sidewalks,
alleys, streets and parkinglots
Exterior components with large surfaces areas that have damaged paint Less than or equal
to 10 ft2 are considered, in what condition? - ANS-Fair
Exterior components with large surfaces areas that have damaged paint more than 10 ft2
are considered, in what condition? - ANS-Poor
Final clearance testing for a lead abatement project is performed using: - ANS-Surface
wiping sampling.
