  4. October 10, 2008

The correct answer is: April 22, 2010

The EPA Lead-Based Paint Renovation, Repair and Painting Program (RRP) became effective on April 22, 2010. This program was established to protect the public from the dangers associated with lead-based paint, particularly in homes built before 1978 when lead-based paint was commonly used. The RRP rule requires firms performing renovation, repair, and painting projects that disturb lead-based paint in homes, child care facilities, and schools to be certified and follow specific work practices to minimize lead dust and debris. Understanding the implications of this regulation is crucial for anyone engaged in renovation or construction activities in older buildings, highlighting the importance of compliance with lead safety measures to protect occupants' health, especially vulnerable populations such as children and pregnant women. The other dates provided do not align with the implementation timeline of this significant environmental health initiative.
