Interim control measures include

• A. Paint film stabilization
• B. Friction and impact reduction treatments
• C. Dust removal
• D. Paint film stabilization; friction and impact reduction treatments; dust removal; soil covering using non-permanent means

Answer: (D)

Interim control measures are temporary actions taken to reduce a child’s exposure to lead hazards while a longer-term solution is planned or implemented. The best answer includes four actions that together address the main ways people come into contact with lead hazards: stabilizing the paint film so loose flakes won’t generate dust; reducing friction and impact on surfaces like doors and windows to prevent further chipping; removing lead dust from the environment to lower indoor contamination; and covering soil around the building with a non-permanent layer to limit exposure from soil. Each piece tackles a different exposure pathway, and using all four provides broader protection than any single measure alone.
