Lead Test Kits
You may not know it, but your home, office or school building could be a danger zone. Lead poisoning, which can be picked up both in the home and without, poses a real threat to health and safety, especially to young children. Affecting every system within the human body, lead poisoning should be taken seriously, and steps should be taken to prevent it.
- Exposure to lead comes in many forms, such as:
- Drinking water
- Food
- Contaminated soil
- Deteriorating paint
- Home areas
- Old plumbing
- Dust
As the summer months approach, home improvement enthusiasts will be sanding, stripping, grinding and otherwise removing paint. Oftentimes, starting projects in older homes brings up questions about lead, as lead-based paint is the most significant source of lead exposure in the U.S. today. According to the EPA, "Most homes built before 1960 contain heavily leaded paint. Some homes built as recently as 1978 may also contain lead paint."
NOTE: How can you know if your project areas are free of lead? Actually, it's quite simple. Lead testing kits can be used to detect lead on any surface, including: dishes, paint, dust, toys, mini-blinds, food cans, plumbing, water, etc.
Lead test kits can be used to easily check for poisonous lead on any surface including: toys, dishes, paint, dust, mini-blinds, food cans, plumbing, water, and other items.
