Lead based paint is something that can be very hazardous to your health and was banned in the 1978. Yet it is still in about 38 million homes. The reason lead was used in pigment was to speed up the drying process, have it look new, and resist moisture. I didn't think that there was still these many homes with lead based paint in them but i know as long as you don't scratch off the paint and sniff it you should be fine.
