Lead actually has alot of good qualities -  thus the millenia of use - but the human body has 0 tolerance for it. Health wise, it's hard to argue in favor of lead.

With the new Chicago tiles out there you could make your life much easier by replacing the old. In Phila. if you have lead paint it's illegal. I had a friend who was sued because of it. The renter said their child ate some paint chips and it effected the child. It's better to be safe then sorry.

I still believe if you have nothing but time on your hands and want to invest it in the ceiling tiles...you can make some money!

That is true about the lead!  But...many places have had the paint sealed/redone over the years and you may even be barking up the wrong tree on the paint on these!
