Rejection of Dust-Lead Hazard Standards Changes

The U.S. Congress has rejected new Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) rules regarding acceptable dust-lead levels. This means that previous, less stringent standards for lead in homes and other buildings remain in effect. For citizens, this implies no tightening of regulations concerning lead removal from buildings.
Key points
Congress disapproved stricter dust-lead standards, meaning current rules remain in place.
