Old structures with leaded paint don't routinely spray it in a fine mist of particulates from several thousand feet in the air, do they?

Do I understand correctly that leaded paint is harmless until scratched or otherwise dispersed?

Lead paint can get pulverized and dispersed as dust as you open and close windows and doors and the like.
