Lead Testing and Inspection

Lead testing and inspection involve checking environments, materials, or products for the presence of lead, a toxic metal harmful to health. This process typically includes taking samples of paint, dust, soil, water, or materials, and analyzing them in a lab to determine lead levels. Inspections identify areas of potential lead exposure, especially in older buildings or products. The goal is to ensure safety by detecting lead contamination early, allowing for proper repairs, risk reduction, or compliance with safety standards. This is vital for protecting vulnerable populations like children and pregnant women from lead poisoning risks.
