Lead Testing Laboratory

A Lead Testing Laboratory is a specialized facility that tests various materials, like paint, soil, and dust, for lead contamination. Lead is a toxic metal that can harm health, especially in children. These laboratories use scientific methods to detect lead levels and ensure they comply with safety regulations. They play a crucial role in public health by helping identify sources of lead exposure, which can prevent serious health problems. The results from these labs guide decisions about remediation and safety measures in homes, schools, and other environments.
