New York, NY personal injury attorney Robert Vilensky talks about where and how lead paint is ingested. The Williamsburg Bridge in New York City recently underwent a renovation that involved scraping and repainting. This process generated significant dust and particles in the air, prompting numerous complaints from local residents. Many of these individuals sought lead testing, and the results indicated substantial levels of lead exposure.

Lead can originate from various sources, including water, apartment interiors, and renovations. Even if the renovation is not occurring within a resident’s apartment, work being conducted in shared spaces, such as hallways, can result in lead inhalation as residents navigate to and from their homes. This exposure poses a risk of lead poisoning.
