环保局制定了新的条例,限制1978年以前建造的家庭和儿童保育设施中含铅涂料中的铅粉尘。 The EPA has introduced new regulations to limit lead dust from lead-based paint in homes and child-care facilities built before 1978. 这些标准于明年初生效,将可接受的铅粉尘水平降至不可检测的水平。 These standards, effective early next year, reduce acceptable lead dust levels to undetectable amounts. 尽管1978年禁止使用含铅涂料,但仍有3 000多万户家庭含含铅涂料,影响到近400万六岁以下儿童。 Despite a 1978 ban, over 30 million homes still contain lead paint, affecting nearly 4 million children under six. 这些规则旨在每年降低120万个人(包括178 000至326 000名儿童)的铅接触率。 The rules aim to lower lead exposure for up to 1.2 million individuals annually, including 178,000 to 326,000 children.
