Lead Testing
Lead exposure remains a significant health concern, particularly in environments where deteriorating lead-based paint is present.
Our Lead Surveys are designed to quantify the amount of lead present in surface dust, assessing the potential risk to occupants, especially children who are more likely to ingest lead from dust and soil in their play areas.
Key Focus Areas of the Survey
- Children’s Exposure: Children are highly susceptible to lead poisoning as they often put objects in their mouths, such as toys or even fragments from windowsills where lead dust tends to accumulate.
- Adults’ Exposure: For adults, the primary risk comes from inhaling lead dust during activities like lead paint removal, smoking, or cleaning.
Understanding the Risks of Lead Exposure
Lead exposure remains a significant health concern, particularly in environments where deteriorating lead-based paint is present. Our Lead Surveys are designed to quantify the amount of lead present in surface dust, assessing the potential risk to occupants, especially children who are more likely to ingest lead from dust and soil in their play areas.
Our Testing Process
Our comprehensive survey involves:
- Wipe Sampling: Collecting samples from various areas within a home or building, particularly where children play, to get a representative overview of the contamination.
- Analysis and Reporting: Samples are analyzed by an IANZ accredited laboratory. The results are detailed in a technical report that includes findings, conclusions, and recommended remedial actions.
Purpose of the Survey
Health Risk Assessment: To determine the health risk associated with lead exposure.
Clearance Testing: To verify that no hazardous residues are left behind post-renovation or lead removal activities.
