Lead-based paint in the United Kingdom

Most lead-based paint in the United Kingdom were banned from sale to the general public in 1992, except for specialist uses. Prior to this, lead compounds had been used as the pigment and drying agent in different types of paint, for example brick and some tile paints. Lead-based paint has been an important cause of lead poisoning.
