Environmental Lead Testing

Environmental lead testing involves checking the surroundings—such as soil, water, and paint—for lead contamination. Lead is a toxic metal that can harm health, especially in children, causing developmental issues and other serious problems. Testing is conducted using specialized equipment or lab analysis to identify lead levels. If lead is found, appropriate steps can be taken to mitigate exposure, such as remediation or removal. Regular testing is important in older homes and areas with industrial history to ensure safety and promote public health.
