<p>[QUOTE="Conder101, post: 2865791, member: 66"]Back in the early 60's when they suddenly started getting scared of lead in paint they removed the lead and switched from oil based paints to latex based. But latex paints can have a problem with mold and mildew so they added something to kill off the mold. Mercury. Yes they replaced the lead that would only hurt you if you ate the paint chips or sanded it and breathed in the dust, with mercury that would outgas from the paint over time and you would breathe in in the air in the room.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
