I seem to recall reading some (can't locate it in my records or on the net) that a couple of years back the DR finally phased out the use of lead in paints sold in the country. Can anyone confirm this? If just reduced, rather than phased out, any idea of the current content levels? And just how much was in old paints? [which would mean one needs to be careful when dealing with removal of old paint.]
All help would be appreciated.
Yes, I admit, this is part of the development of a
Green Team blog piece on painting in our ongoing
"Personal Choices" series.
