EPA LEAD RISK ASSESSOR REVISION PAST PAPER
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS RATED A+
✔✔Information provided by the owner regarding the condition and the presence of
children to select dwellings most likely to have lead hazards - ✔✔Targeted sampling in
Multi-family properties relies on:
✔✔25 ug/ft2 (micrograms per square foot) - ✔✔What is the HUD Standard for dust
samples collected during the Lead Hazard Screen on a floor surface:
✔✔2 floor dust samples from a widely separated locations in high traffic areas and
2 dust samples from different windows - ✔✔In Multi-family community buildings up to
2,000 square feet, the risk assessor should collect:
✔✔Broken down by type and location (i.e. dust samples on the floor) then the weighted
arithmetic mean lead loading is calculated for the components in the unit. If the lead
dust loading result exceeds the appropriate standard, a development or building wide
hazard may exist in all of the unsampled units. - ✔✔For Risk Assessments in Multi-
family properties, dust sampling results need to be:
✔✔Treat all components of that type as if they have lead levels above the standard or
have a Lead Inspection performed - ✔✔If the Risk Assessor finds that deteriorated paint
on a given components had lead above the standards, the owner should:
✔✔Measures designed to temporarily reduce human exposure to lead based paint
hazards - ✔✔Interim controls are best described as:
✔✔Measures designed to permanently eliminated lead base paint hazards. -
✔✔Abatement is best described as:
✔✔Paint film stabilization
Planting grass in bare soil areas
Lead contaminated dust removal - ✔✔Interim controls may include:
✔✔Open flame burning or torching
Sand blasting
Sanding or grinding without HEPA vacuum exhaust equipment
Abrasive blasting
Paint stripper - ✔✔HUD prohibits these 5 methods for the removal of Lead Paint
✔✔Wet scraping
Heat gun
Mechanical removal
,Chemical removal - ✔✔The following 4 hazard control option is not prohibited by HUD
for Lead Paint removal:
✔✔Visual examination of all known or assumed LBP
Visual examination of all lead hazard control measures
At least two composite dust wipe samples for (floor, window) and bare soil samples -
✔✔Risk Assessment Reevaluations of units that have not undergone complete
Abatement should include:
✔✔A certified Risk Assessor every two years if Lead Based Paint remains in the unit. -
✔✔HUD regulations requires a follow-up reevaluation to be performed by:
✔✔The state or local regulatory agencies - ✔✔An Investigations of EBL units are often
coordinated by:
✔✔Summarizes the results by indicating where the hazards were found
Include any raw data and identifying information
In some jurisdiction may become a legal document - ✔✔The Risk Assessment Report:
✔✔Dry scraping, sanding, abrasive, open flame - ✔✔HUD does not recommend what
type of lead Paint removal:
✔✔30 ug/m3 (microgram per cubic centimeter) - ✔✔What is OSHA's action level:
✔✔1990 - ✔✔In what year was lead-based product discontinued:
✔✔50 ug/m3 (microgram per cubic centimeter) - ✔✔What is OSHA PEL level:
✔✔1978 - ✔✔In what year did the CPSC reduction occur
✔✔Glazed Pottery
Battery
Sinkers
Chemicals and Brass Faucet - ✔✔Name at least 3 products that contain lead:
✔✔A identifiable part of a residence such as:
- rooms, exterior, foyer, staircase, etc. - ✔✔What is a room equivalent:
✔✔250 ug/ft2 - ✔✔What is the standard clearance for window sill:
✔✔40 ug/ft2 - ✔✔What is the standard clearance for floor:
✔✔25 ug/ft2 - ✔✔What is the Lead Hazard Screen level for floor:
, ✔✔125 ug/ft2 - ✔✔What is the Lead Hazard Screen level for window sill:
✔✔National Lead Laboratory Accredited Program (NLLAP) - ✔✔What does NLLAP
stand for:
✔✔Toxic Characteristics Leaching Program - ✔✔What does TCLP stand for:
✔✔Sodium sulfide
Sodium rhodizonate - ✔✔Name two types of qualitative means (kits) for detecting lead
in paint.
✔✔Aloe or lanolin - ✔✔What is not allow for wipes:
✔✔True - ✔✔T or F A Risk Assessor should have the following supplies for dust wipe
sampling:
- disposable lead dust wipes. Wipes that do not contain aloe or lanolin;
- disposable glove that are non-steriled and non powdered
- disposable shoe covers b/t buildings;
- centrifuge tubes or other hard plastic. Non-sterilized plaster tube equipped with a
sealable lid.)
- Reuable templates (12" x 12" plastic or disposable cardboard template is best).
✔✔True - ✔✔T or F A Spike samples should be labeled so you can identify them, but
the lab cannot
✔✔True - ✔✔T or F If a blank sample is contaminated, then the data should not be
used and the unit in question should be re-sampled.
✔✔2 (floor and window sill) - ✔✔How many dust composite samples must be taken in a
Lead Screen.
✔✔Atomic Absorption Spectramotery (AAS) - ✔✔How are paint chip tested
✔✔Add it to the sample - ✔✔What do you do when taking a paint chip sample and part
of the paint falls on plastic
✔✔trained - ✔✔Can a risk assessor conduct a risk assessment with what personnel
✔✔1978 - ✔✔When did they reduce the Lead Levels in consumer produce
✔✔1990 - ✔✔In what year was lead discontinued in consumer products
