Abstract: Abstract: A lead hazard control decision tree was developed for buildings. The tree yields multiple outputs or decisions on 29 branches using only eight queries. This decision tree addresses both lead hazard control for child occupied buildings including family housing, childcare facilities, and schools and non-child occupied buildings such as offices, equipment, utility, storage, shop, and other non-child occupied buildings. The decision tree employs eight queries to determine a solution for a given set of circumstances. However, each question and answer is laden with significant meaning and requires the user have knowledge from the preliminary investigation of the substrate arid paint condition. The criteria presented in query format are based on strategy selection criteria combining regulatory/policy driven strategy selection criteria include: historic preservation, building occupancy, and Army policy. Technology driven selection criteria are substrate condition, paint condition, exposure, and substrate material.
