An experimental investigation was carried out to assess the quantative presence of lead content of residential paints used in Oman. From local manufacture companies 32 samples were collected and analyzed the quantities of lead presence. It was found that the lead presence is ranged between BLD 0.73(min.) ppm to 18.65 ppm (max.) with standard deviation (SD) of 11.02834 ppm and average 1.744375 ppm. The maximum concentrations were found 18.65 ppm in company code (N29) for enamel gloss, blue color. An average of 40.6% of the samples contained below limit detection 0.73 ppm. The recommendations were suggested based on the data analyzed keeping in view of potential hazard of lead exposure to children in Oman.
