Lead Sampling Strategies

Lead sampling strategies involve selecting specific locations and methods to test for lead contamination, usually in water, soil, or paint, to assess health risk. These strategies are designed to ensure accurate detection of lead levels, identifying areas that may pose health hazards, especially in homes or schools. The approach considers factors like potential sources, historical data, and sample size, aiming to efficiently pinpoint contamination sources and inform needed remediation. Proper sampling ensures reliable results, guiding effective actions to protect public health from lead exposure.
