Okay, well this could have been posted elsewhere but I wasn't sure where to post it.
Today, my girlfriend and I came home to find maintenance workers chipping the lead paint off of our house. This is fine and dandy, but there are tons of lead paint chips EVERYWHERE. I know it was lead paint because 1) The house was built in the 1800s, and 2) in our lease it stated that the lead paint in the house had been stripped and covered. Some made it into my altar room, others all over the flowers, herbs and vegetables we were growing in our garden. Some even made it into a potted plant of teas I was growing. Not to mention the bowls of rain water I've been collecting are now useless, filled with paint chips. There's a HUGE mess, they've literally gotten everywhere. I'm not sure how they plan on cleaning any of this up.
What should I do with the vegetables and herbs I've been growing? Are they now contaminated? How do I get rid of all these paint chips. This can't be safe for contact what so ever. Any experiences with this yourself.
