If no high or moderate risk deleading occurred, how many wipes are taken?

In the context of lead inspections and risk assessments, the number of wipes taken after no high or moderate risk deleading activity is conducted is often related to standard procedures for assessing the presence of lead-contaminated dust. When no significant risk has been identified, guidelines generally recommend a specific number of wipes to ensure that any potential lead contamination is thoroughly evaluated.

The recommended practice in such scenarios is to take seven wipes. This number is established to provide a comprehensive assessment while adhering to regulatory requirements and best practices for environmental sampling. The seven wipes cover key areas and provide enough data to accurately determine whether lead dust is present at concerning levels or not.

This approach is critical for ensuring that both occupants' health and safety are prioritized while also supporting compliance with state regulations regarding lead exposure and remediation efforts. Taking fewer wipes might not yield sufficient data to confidently assess the situation, while taking more than necessary would not typically be required if no risks are apparent.
