The Maryland Attorney General’s office announced the guilty plea of a 43-year old Baltimore man for violations of Maryland environmental laws regarding the issuance of fake lead paint certificates. The investigation began following a referral from the Maryland Department of the Environment (MDE) February 2024, after an MDE review found that man, a Maryland-certified Lead Paint Inspector and principal operator of Green Environmental, LLC, was using an X-ray Fluorescence (XRF) device that was not on the list of MDE-approved machines. The review also discovered that he did not possess the required radioactive material license (RAM) to operate the XRF. Source: Maryland Attorney General
