Why Test for Lead?
Lead is a toxic metal that causes serious health issues when ingested or inhaled. This dangerous substance can be present in paint, pipes, and even soil. According to the Mayo Clinic, long-term exposure to lead is linked to high blood pressure, mood disorders, and cognitive issues in adults. For children, it causes developmental problems and generally impacts their well-being. The risks associated with lead are why testing for it and removing any materials containing it is important.
