Combination Risk Assessment/Inspection includes which components?

• A. Only surface tests
• B. Surface-by-surface measurement of lead-based paint plus soil and dust sampling
• C. Only soil sampling
• D. Only dust sampling

Answer: (B)

Combination Risk Assessment/Inspection aims to identify lead hazards by looking at both the paint itself and the environment that could expose people to lead. It includes measuring lead on surfaces (a surface-by-surface assessment of lead-based paint) to see where painted surfaces pose a hazard, and it also involves collecting soil and dust samples to evaluate contamination that can be ingested or inhaled. Together, these components give a fuller risk picture and guide appropriate remediation actions. That’s why the option describing both surface-by-surface measurement of lead-based paint plus soil and dust sampling best fits this approach. The other choices are incomplete because they cover only one aspect and miss the other exposure pathways.
