Construction, Maintenance, Paint history
Type, Location, Usage

The correct answer is: Construction, Maintenance, Paint history

The correct answer refers to attributes that can significantly influence the risk of lead exposure in properties painted with lead-based paint, particularly in the context of evaluating potential hazards during risk assessments. Construction covers the materials and methods used in building homes, which can impact how paint is applied and maintained over time. This relates to how lead-based paint may interact with physical structures in a dwelling—the age and types of homes often determine the presence and condition of lead paint. Maintenance involves how well a property has been kept over time, including regular upkeep practices that can affect the integrity of the paint film. Proper maintenance can reduce the risk of exposure to lead dust and chips by ensuring that paint remains intact and protective layers are preserved. Paint history is crucial, as it tracks the applications and any occurrences of repainting or remediation. Knowing when lead-based paint was last applied or if any lead encapsulation or removal has taken place is essential in risk assessment. The other options imply characteristics or details about paint that do not directly correlate with the specific aspects influencing lead exposure risk in residential settings.
