Question

All of the following are true about lead-based paint EXCEPT

A)it was commonly used in residences before 1978.
B)it is most dangerous when ingested.
C)all residential buildings must be tested for lead-based paint.
D)renovation by a contractor of a residence that has lead-based paint requires education and certification.

Answer 1

The statement that all residential buildings must be tested for lead-based paint is false.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct answer is C) all residential buildings must be tested for lead-based paint. The statement is false because not all residential buildings are required to be tested for lead-based paint. While it is true that lead-based paint was commonly used in residences before 1978 (option A), it is most dangerous when ingested (option B), and renovation by a contractor of a residence that has lead-based paint requires education and certification (option D), not all residential buildings are required to undergo testing for lead-based paint.
