I actually thought about doing that 30 years ago (Faraday cage), but couldn't afford the time and $. Also, doesn't eliminate RF or AC noise generated inside the structure. As far as something that can be purchased to eliminate RF energy without blocking it - too many technical problems to work very well, and if it generates it's own signals, you just added more RF noise inside your home. If you're talking about power conditioners to clean up incoming AC, that will help protect sensitive electronics.
Interesting idea. Probably knocked down signals a bit. Lead paint is a health hazard, but that wasn't new information back when it was being widely used. And you don't want to sand lead paint and breathe the dust.
I am not 100% sold on the health hazard. One reason is reloading ammo is quite a bit of exposure to lead. Lead does stop radio waves and other radiation so it may need deeper digging.
Lead is a health hazard. But there are caveats that impact the intake of lead. Lead oxide is bad - very bad in that it's easy to absorb. Handling lead bullets (normally minimally available lead oxides) isn't too bad. You can wash it off, and your skin is a good barrier as long as there isn't any way to absorb the lead. The realty is most lead bullets are coated anyway - usually with wax or lube. Some have a plastic coating and then there's the jacketed varieties, all minimizing exposure.

I have wonderet if all the buz against lead paint was to enable the wifi and monitoring to be able to penetrate homes
