Lead in Water Test Kit

Lead contaminated drinking water is one of the #1 health threats along with lead poisoning from painted surfaces. Over 57 million homes have either plumbing or lead soldered pipes.

High levels of lead can cause mental retardation, blindness, comas and even death, to both children and adults. Lead can also cause problems in pregnancy and affect a baby's normal development.

The PRO-LAB® Professional Lead in Water Test Kit utilizes an EPA approved laboratory that will accurately and reliably test your water for lead contamination.


Lead in Paint & Dust Test Kit

Lead Paint Contamination - Many homes/apartments built before 1960 have heavily leaded paint and homes/apartments built prior to 1978 may also contain paint with dangerously high levels of lead.

Lead based paint can be on walls, ceilings, woodwork, windows, furniture (cribs), children’s toys and even floors. As it peels, paint chips are loosened and can be ingested by children. Another contamination source from lead is lead dust particles. Painted surface friction points, such as window frames and sills, create paint dust.

Household renovation activities can also create high levels of paint dust. When a lead-based paint surface is broken, sanded or scraped, it breaks into tiny, sometimes invisible, pieces that children can swallow or inhale.
