1. Lead paint

   Lead paint or lead-based paint is paint containing lead. As pigment, lead(II) chromate (Pb Cr O4, "chrome yellow"), Lead(II,IV) oxide, (Pb3 O4, "red lead"), and lead(II) carbonate (Pb C O3, "white lead") are the most common forms. Lead is added to paint to accelerate drying, increase durability, maintain a fresh appearance, and resist moisture that causes corrosion. It is one of the main health and environmental hazards associated with paint. In some countries, lead continues to be added to paint intended for domestic use, whereas countries such as the U.S. and the UK have regulations prohibiting this, although lead paint may still be found in older properties painted prior to the introduction of such regulations. Although lead has been banned from household paints in the United States since 1978, paint used in road markings may still contain it. Alternatives such as water-based, lead-free traffic paint are readily available, and many states and federal agencies have changed their purchasing contracts to buy these instead.

Examples of lead paint in a Sentence

1. Eric Roberts:

   One of the most documented risk factors for having lead exposure is a kid living in a house that was built before the 1978 ban on lead paint, and we tell ourselves, 'well, California is new. It doesn't have old structures.'.

2. Tamara Rubin:

   There is so much shame and blame around lead, other mothers tell me their city or state officials have essentially told them they weren't doing a good job parenting. They hear messages like 'You need to wash your kid's hands more,' or 'Send them to day care, rather than let them play at a home that may have lead paint.' These parents are made to feel embarrassed or uncomfortable and they shouldn't be. Lead is all around us.

3. James Williams:

   We're pleased that we've been able to hold lead paint manufacturers accountable and responsible.

4. Hillary Clinton:

   I know something about lead poisoning because of the work I've done in the past (with Children's Defense Fund) and as a senator from New York, we had a lot of old housing with lead paint in it. A lot of kids suffered from lead poisoning, and part of the challenge is you've got to intervene early. We need comprehensive health screenings, then we need to figure out how do we get the right nutrition and vitamins. You've got to begin to work to counteract the lead.

5. James Williams:

   This landmark settlement will allow thousands of homes to be remediated, and as a result current and future generations of California children will no longer face the threat of lead poisoning, we're pleased that we've been able to hold lead paint manufacturers accountable and responsible.
