Crawlers can ingest lead dust from hand. It can also be ingested in water, lead pipes or lead solder. High levels of lead in the blood can cause serious damage to the brain, kidneys, nervous system and red blood cells. The degree of damage is related to the duration of exposure and the age at which the person has been exposed. At present, there is no federal law that requires landlords to verify the presence of lead paint. The dangers of lead-based paint must be disclosed however.

In 1996, the EPA and the Department of Housing and Urban Development issued regulations requiring disclosure of the presence of all the risks of lead-based paint to prospective buyers or tenants. A disclosure statement of lead-based paint must be connected to all contracts for the sale and rental of residential properties built prior to 1978.

Those interested or tenants should have ten days to make risk assessments or inspections for the dangers of lead-based paint. Buyers are not bound by a contract until the property within ten days has expired. Real estate agents must ensure that all parties respect the law.

Radon is a gas produced by the radioactive decay of natural radioactive substances. Some areas are known to have more significant quantities than others. Radon is found in all states. The highest concentrations were found in the Plains States, Midwest and northern United States. Outdoors, radon is usually dissipated in the atmosphere and is not likely to cause damage. When radon enters buildings and is trapped in high concentrations, cause health problems. This usually occurs in poorly ventilated basement.

Radon is odorless and tasteless. It's impossible to detect without testing. Radon is relatively easy to install to reduce the ventilation or fans. The modern practice of energy-efficient homes and buildings, walls and almost airtight windows can increase opportunities for the accumulation of radon. Heating and ventilation, radon can spread throughout the house when it was accumulated. Radon has been shown to cause lung cancer. Individuals who smoke and use a lot of time indoors are particularly at risk. EPA pamphlet "Citizen's Guide to Radon's. It's available online or at the local office of EPA.
