Lead Testing and Abatement

Lead testing and abatement involve identifying and reducing lead hazards in environments like homes or buildings. Testing detects the presence of lead, often in paint, dust, or soil, using specialized methods. If lead is found at unsafe levels, abatement procedures follow to eliminate or contain the hazard—this can include safely removing or sealing lead-based paint, cleaning contaminated surfaces, or replacing affected materials. These processes are essential for protecting health, especially for children and pregnant women, as lead exposure can cause serious health problems. Proper testing and abatement ensure the environment is safe from lead-related risks.
