Which of the following is NOT included in Title X abatement activities?

The installation of new plumbing is not included in Title X abatement activities as defined by the law. Title X primarily focuses on lead-based paint abatement and related activities to reduce lead hazards in residential properties, particularly those built before 1978. Abatement activities generally involve methods such as encapsulation, cleanup of lead dust, and waste disposal related to lead contamination.

While plumbing installation may be a necessary home improvement, it does not directly address the risks associated with lead exposure or lead contamination in housing. In contrast, activities such as encapsulation involve sealing off lead-based paints to prevent exposure, while cleanup of lead dust entails removing lead particles from surfaces to minimize health risks. Waste disposal refers to the safe removal of hazardous materials, further aligning with the objectives of Title X. Therefore, the option related to plumbing installation does not fall within the scope of activities aimed at eliminating lead hazards under Title X.
