Lead testing in Brisbane

Lead in Brisbane homes

Queenslanders and post-war timber homes were painted and repainted many times. Exterior paint, verandah rails, window frames and under-house areas where old paint was scraped often test positive. Ceiling dust in older homes can also carry lead from decades of traffic and paint.

The most prevalent cause of lead poisoning is deteriorating lead paint surfaces and lead dust. The older a structure, the more probable it has lead paint.

Property owners' potential liabilities

In Queensland, new legislation was established in 1923 to limit the quantity of lead used in the manufacture of paint. Owners may be held responsible for breaches as well as all damages resulting from failure to comply with the Lead Law. When a kid is poisoned by lead, the losses may include compensatory damages such as medical expenditures, special education fees, and lost wages for the child's lifetime. Punitive damages of three times the compensatory damages may be given when the owner was aware of the lead risks but failed to address them.
