  1. 1990.

    Mercury in interior latex paint was banned by the Environmental Protection Agency. Up until it was banned in interior paints in 1990, paint was the third largest manufacturing use of mercury. Most buildings constructed before 1990 or 1991 probably contain some mercury in their paint.

    I believe it was banned from ALL interior paints in 1992, check the source link.
