Lead Testing of Paint

Lead Risk Assessments and Inspections

Lead poisoning can be caused by inhalation and ingestion of lead.  Paint and other surface coatings can possibly contain lead.  When a job or project involves work that may create dust or fumes by disturbing the coating(s) matrix, specific handling procedures can be determined by testing the coating  for lead content.  Contact Adam McLeland or Fran Memmer for help.
