NelsonWe're renovating our porch roof. After removing the aluminum siding, we're concerned that the painted wood underneath, which is peeling, may be covered with lead paint, and that the dust and flakes may contaminate our garden and house. We're planning to test the paint this morning.
Has anyone discovered lead paint while working on their house exterior? Got any tips or resources?

Trump funding freeze could leave communities on their own as climate threats grow

Excerpts: "The funding freeze is being felt across the U.S.
"A #Missouri school district couldn't pay for almost two dozen electric school buses it ordered to replace a fleet of diesel buses. In #SpringfieldMassachusetts, officials didn't know if the city would get money it was promised to #weatherize homes, remove #LeadPaint and #RepairRoads. #Oklahoma regulators warned $100 million in grant funding to plug abandoned #OilAndGas wells was in jeopardy. A #NorthCarolina official said the state risks losing out on more than $100 million in conservation projects that could protect communities from #floods and #wildfires. And in Kersey, Colo., officials had to hope the government would unfreeze money to remove an old grain elevator covered in #asbestos, a cancer-causing substance that's linked to the deaths of tens of thousands of Americans every year.
"'We wouldn't be able to move forward without it,' Susie Thielbert, a grant analyst for Kersey, told Colorado Public Radio about the grain-elevator project. 'We are a very small community.'"
[...]
"Parts of West Virginia 'have been left behind' for decades, Crowe says, but money had started flowing in from the Biden-era laws that Trump's now targeting.
"'Their infrastructure is failing,' Crowe says. 'And without the federal government coming in to help support them, they're not going to be able to come up with that money on their own.'
"Similar concerns are rippling through the region, says Dana Kuhnline, senior program director at ReImagine Appalachia, an advocacy group."

Moved to Mastodon, See BelowSince I first came to be interested in ghost signs, and their longevity, I've always heard the refrain that this was due to the lead in the paint. However, while not doubting the truth of the claim, I'd never received a satisfactory explanation for why that might be the case. Until now.
In a casual conversation with the sign painter Jill Strong, she let slip that she has a PhD in polymer photochemistry. I didn't hesitate to put the lead question directly to her, resulting in this in-depth exploration of the material, its properties and, of course, the major hazards associated with it.
These are the opening two paragraphs from an extended account at bl.ag online of the enduring (and highly toxic) legacy of lead paint on signs, and sign painters. You can read it in full on the @[email protected] site here: https://bl.ag/why-lead-paint-makes-signs-last-a-toxic-legacy/
