Lead

Lead is present throughout SFU in two common forms: lead materials (e.g. x-ray shielding aprons or lead-acid batteries) and lead-based paints & coatings. These materials do not pose a health hazard unless they are disturbed. For general inquiries about hazardous building materials, please contact hazmat_work@sfu.ca.
