NIOSH Comments to HUD on the Department of Housing and Urban Development ProposedRule on Lead-Based Paint Hazard Elimination by R. W. Niemeier, July 11, 1994

摘要

These comments summarized the information provided by NIOSH regarding theproposed rule on lead (7439921) based paint hazard elimination. NIOSH considers the portable X-ray fluorescence (XRF) analyzer to be useful as a screening tool only for very high lead concentrations in a painted surface and does not regard currently available XRF portable devices to be useful for determining the absence of a potential lead hazard to workers or the absence of a potential public health hazard.
