The Flint Water Emergency: A 2016 Crisis of Proximity Contamination

Details
Blog Feed
January 21, 2016

The Flint Water Emergency-A 2016 CrisisOn January 16, President Obama declared the city of Flint, Michigan a state of emergency. The crisis began nearly two years ago, when the city decided to change water sources from the great Lake Huron to the notoriously polluted Flint River. 

According to a class action lawsuit filed in November 2015, the state Department of Environmental Quality failed to treat the Flint River water with an anti-corrosive agent. This neglect, which was in violation of federal law, caused erosion in the iron water mains. Community members are said to "have experienced serious and in some cases life threatening and irreversible bodily injury; (incurring) substantial economic losses in the nature of medical expenses, lost wages; ...and non-economic damages in the nature of pain and suffering, embarrassment, outrage, mental anguish, fear and mortification, and stress related physical symptoms such as sleepiness, gastrointestinal discomfort, neuropathy and similar symptoms."

The National Guard was called in to help distribute water from resource centers. Celebrities have begun to chime in, like Michigan native, director Michael Moore, and civil rights activist Jesse Jackson, who each dubbed Flint a "crime scene." Cher teamed up with Icelandic Glacial and donated 180,000 bottles of water.

Although the use of lead paint was mainly discontinued after 1978, lead poisoning, long thought to have run its course in America's society, is still relevant today. The outrage of the Flint community is entirely justified, being that lead poisoning can be prevented on many levels. Beyond the leaching of rusty pipes, proximity contamination is spread through methods such as sanding, scraping or blasting, resulting in lead dust and paint chips becoming activated in air, soil and water. 

With over 15 years of proven success, the ECOBOND® family of products has been extensively used throughout the US and internationally in successfully treating lead hazards in over 11,000,000 tons of material.

Proximity contamination sounds like it affects the immediate area surrounding a building or demolition site. It sounds like a problem that's limited and can be contained. But unfortunately, Flint, Michigan is the latest example of how far-reaching the effects of lead can be. 

Lead in the Water

The problem of increased lead exposure in children throughout Flint can apparently be traced to a change the city made in 2014, when it stopped relying on Detroit for its drinking water and began drawing water from the Flint River.  

A medical study released in September 2015 showed that after the change to the city's source of drinking, the proportion of infants and children with above-average levels of lead in their blood had nearly doubled.

Within about a month, the city made arrangements to return to Detroit as the source of its drinking water. And on December 14, 2015, Flint Mayor Karen Weaver declared a state of emergency, say the city was facing a "manmade disaster."

Lead Liabilities 

Not surprisingly, at least one class-action lawsuit was filed earlier this fall. It is among the latest reminders that lead cleanup and mitigation is one of many things in life that needs to be done right the first time. 

Lead poisoning is a real, if easy to ignore, danger. While it can be easy to overlook the danger, it is impossible to deny the consequences, and unfortunately, they are serious and long-lasting. 

The news from Flint reminds us of the importance of what we do. We are passionate about protecting the environment and people, especially children, from lead hazards and believe - in spite of this news - that someday the prevalence of lead poisoning around the world will be but a memory.

Is Lead Paint Putting Your Children at Risk?

While many people will say that parents today are too overprotective, there is one common concern that is completely valid: proximity contamination from lead paint. Countless studies have shown that lead increases the risk of cancer, causes respiratory problems in children, and may even cause birth defects. Lead is seldom used today in toys, but many houses, businesses, and even playground equipment dating back to the 1970's used lead-based paint. This lead runs the risk of entering people's lungs, or even into local crop and water supplies.

Many homeowners have taken to having lead paint removed from their property. At an average cost of $15 per square foot, this can come to as much as $10,000 for the typical house. A common alternative to removal is to paint over the lead-covered surfaces with latex-based paint. This, unfortunately, does not seal the lead well enough to prevent proximity contamination by wind or rainfall, and airborne particles can still escape. What actually does work, is the paint by EcoBond LBP. Our paint is specially formulated to seal lead-based paint, preventing proximity contamination. We have been proven effective, and our paint is a cost-effective alternative to removal. Government contractors, industrial firms, and residential builders all enjoy our products.

Lead Paint Demolition Considerations in Bridge Repair

January 12, 2016

judge lawCongress finally passed a long-term surface transportation financing bill and the President signed it into law.  It's been a long time coming; there has been no new legislation to fund the construction of new transportation or repair and upgrade of old infrastructure in over 10 years.

The American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) 2013 Infrastructure Report Card states that 1 in 9 of our nations bridges are structurally deficient, and over 65,000 of them are at least 70 years old.

These bridges typically have an undercoat of lead-based paint (LBP) that is routinely painted over with latex or a moisture-cured urethane (MCU) overcoat.  These applications cover the lead but do not render it safe.

The Electronic Library of Construction Occupation Health and Safety details the hazards of repair and demolition of bridges when LBP is present.  Strict adherence to protocol is required to avoid lead poisoning on the job.

As America moves forward with the much-needed repair or replacement of these deficient structures, this lead based paint will be a major health and safety issue.

ECOBOND® LBP is a safe, economical method to coat the LBP for safe removal.  The patented formula chemically converts the lead and stabilizes it, rendering it safe for demolition.  It's patented softeners and penetrators provide exceptional adherence and reduces lead hazard by up to 95%.

When ECOBOND® LBP is used properly, removed and collected solid waste can typically be disposed of as non-hazardous for lead.  This will result in a major savings of time and money over standard hazardous disposal fees.

ECOBOND® LBP is an easy-to-use and economical solution to the LBP hazards associated with steel bridge repair and retrofit.  Contact us to learn how we can save you time and money.

Lead Dust Containment
June 19, 2017

Video screenshotECOBOND® - Lead Defender® announces new research confirming the efficacy of lead treatment protocols with demonstrated benefits by third party validation of a novel, low cost Lead Contaminated Surface Treatment (LCST). This treatment effectively treats and seals lead contaminated surfaces; thereby mitigating the potential for lead exposure hazards to humans and the environment.

The result creates a breakthrough new category for lead dust and lead paint controls: Lead Contaminated Surface Treatment (LCST), dismissing the commonly accepted sole recommendation of encapsulants. Encapsulants coat, but do not treat the lead or lead dust contaminated surfaces. Additionally, they do little to assist with reducing lead toxicity hazards and the dangers if lead dust or paint chips are ingested or inhaled.

The Importance of Controlling the Spread of Lead-Contaminated Airborne Lead Dust on Industrial and Commercial Projects

Controlling the Spread of Lead Contaminated Airborne Lead Dust on Industrial and Commercial ProjectsLead paint is one of those buried hazards of the past that still lives with us.

While it seems like forever ago, given that lead was removed from paint in the United States back in 1978, we sometimes forget that buildings tend to live longer than people. Given  that more than 50% of every structure in the USA contains and the sheer amount of lead paint that still exists in homes, commercial structures, and industrial facilities, we can't just write off the dangers of lead paint as something that's over and done with….especially if we're going to start demolishing stuff.

 

How Far Can Lead-Contaminated Dust Spread?

In Detroit, a widespread program of home demolition has been going on for years. Buildings deemed as a hazard, or even just eyesores, were destroyed to much fanfare. Talk of renewal was widespread. Unfortunately, another thing that was widespread was lead dust from the paint in these buildings. According to Freep, this dust could easily travel 400 feet from the initial site. That's more than a football field's worth of heavy metal just waiting to possibly creep into people's lungs and bloodstreams. That's also just from one house; if you're working with larger structures, and just the wrong environmental conditions, then that lead dust could potentially spread a lot further.

That's just one example, though. Unfortunately, according to OPB, destruction of properties covered in lead paint is governed by very few rules. This has lead to widespread contamination because it's often cheaper to just knock a structure down. But once lead dust gets out of your control, there's no telling where it might wind up. People can transport it off site, as can wind, water, rain, and other potential vehicles. That can lead to serious damage to health, and the environment, as well as sizable clean-up fees, and even legal action if you're deemed responsible for where the dust has settled. This is why controlling the lead dust in the first place should always be a top priority.

Controlling the Spread of Lead-Contaminated Airborne Dust

Lead is still an important component of many building materials. It's durability, flexibility, price point and material properties make it a valuable product for developers in commercial and industrial projects. Unfortunately, there are also many drawbacks in lead.  First and foremost are the health concerns.  Lead dust can permanently impair lungs and brain functioning in the people it effects, especially children.  For this reason, it is extremely important to control its spread.  According to OSHA, there are several ways to control lead dust.

Substituting Engineering Processes

Big commercial or industrial construction projects do not use just one method of construction. There are multiple ways to build and create beautiful structures. Some of these methods control lead dust much more effectively.  Builders can use powerful "vacuum blast cleaning, wet abrasive blast cleaning, shrouded power tool cleaning" or other methods to attempt to keep dust out of the air as they work.  Additionally, as they work engineers can use "mobile hydraulic shears instead of a cutting torch" to quickly, cleanly and professionally separate materials while trying to keep from depositing lead dust in the air.

Ventilation

For the health and safety of workers or any visitors, ventilation is crucial. For example, engineers need to deliver portable local ventilation systems to work sites that clean and filter the air. Dilution ventilation can also be used. This increases the amount of clean air in the area to reduce the lead infiltrated area as an overall percentage.  That potentially improves the safety of the site.

Some types of specialty paint sealants can also minimize airborne lead spread. In this way, you can protect yourself and your employees from serious lead poisoning potential.
