Why is testing recommended for houses built before 1978?

In 1978 a limit was placed on the amount of lead in paint sold for residential use, following federal regulations. It is because of this, that paint containing lead is found in most homes built before 1978. Chances of encountering lead-based paint are dangerously high in older homes.
