Rescheduled: EPA and HUD Holding Virtual Workshop on Revisiting Definition of Lead-Based Paint
Released July 26, 2023
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) will hold a virtual public workshop to receive stakeholder input on the detection, measurement and characterization of lead-based paint to support efforts to reduce lead exposure. EPA and HUD will use information received during the workshop to inform their joint effort to revisit the federal definition of lead-based paint and propose and finalize a revised definition, if necessary.
The workshop has been rescheduled to November 1 and 2, 2023. The original dates of the workshop were October 17 and 18, 2023.
EPA and HUD are seeking presenters for the workshop with lead-based paint expertise, including: characteristics, potential health effects, the relationship between lead-based paint and dust-lead, possible exposure pathways, and emerging detection and measurement technologies used to quantify lead in paint. The new deadline for submitting abstracts for presentations is August 11. Please review the abstract submission guidelines before applying.
