  2. An infrared camera
  3. An EPA-recognized test kit
  4. A hardware-store pH test strip

C. An EPA-recognized test kit

A certified renovator may use an EPA-recognized test kit, or collect paint chip samples for a recognized laboratory. Kits that EPA has not recognized do not count, whatever the label says.

A heat gun may be used to soften paint only if it operates below

  1. 212 degrees F
  2. 700 degrees F
  3. 1,100 degrees F
  4. 2,000 degrees F
Show the answer

C. 1,100 degrees F

Heat guns are prohibited at or above 1,100 degrees F because very hot paint gives off lead fume. A gun running at 700 degrees is allowed, so 700 is not the limit.

Reference: 40 CFR 745.85(a)(3)(iii)

What must be done with forced-air duct openings located inside an interior work area?

  1. Close them and cover them with taped-down plastic
  2. Leave them open to keep air moving
  3. Remove the grilles and vacuum inside
  4. Point a fan at them to push the dust away from them
Show the answer

A. Close them and cover them with taped-down plastic

Duct openings in the work area are closed and covered with taped-down plastic so the HVAC system cannot spread dust through the building. Leaving them open, or blowing air at them, moves dust outside containment.
