Testing For Lead: Lead in dust test kit, lead in water testing kit, lead in paint test kits
Ingesting lead paint and breathing lead containing dust is the #1 contributor
to lead poisoning, which affects over 200,000 children each year. Federal guidelines
define lead paint as any type of paint that contain 1.0 mg/cm2 or greater of lead. Also,
Federal guidelines require that real estate sellers disclose known information on lead
based paint hazards to potential buyers, and buyers have up to 10 days to check for lead
hazards before settlement.
The most accurate method to test for lead involves the use of portable spectrum XRF
Analyzers (X-Ray fluoroscopes), which requires the costly services of a State licensed
operator for portable nuclear devices. Professional grade Lead testing kits with
confirmatory laboratory analysis or instantaneous chemical reaction strips are of much
lesser cost and provide a fair assessment of lead in paint coatings and dust regardless of
the condition of the paint. These testing methods provide reliable results, especially
when sampling is conducted by a certified environmental specialist or environmental
inspector.
