Lead poisoning is still an issue around the country, affecting homes, schools, and anywhere old paint, ceramics, vinyl lunchboxes, miniblinds, and toys exist. Before calling in the proper authorities —EPA’s lead abatement site is a good place to start - you can perform a preliminary test on your environment with a simple swab from www.leadcheck.com or other vendor. Be sure to follow directions to the letter, as method can affect results. Today, challenge yourself to get a test kit or call a lead abatement professional to test out your environment.
