Lead in paint has been around long before the sirens alerts were broadcasting doom and people survived.

Long ago, the toxic and sometimes lethal effects of the build-up of lead in the soft tissues of the human body was unrecorded because it was unknown.

I am always amazed by the few artists who go screaming exaggerations, when the appearance of lead and the topic comes up.

And I am always amazed by the few artists who feel that we all should ignore the potential hazards and use lead paint because they do.
I think that using lead paint is a wee bit like jumping out of airplanes...maybe you will get hurt, maybe you won't....but the more you do it, the greater your chance of harming yourself. It obviously isn't for everybody.
How do you dispose of your cadmium and lead-laden spent brush cleaner in a manner that is safe to the environment?
