“Lead is a potent neurotoxin, and there’s no safe level to ingest.”

– The New York Times

“Testing for lead contamination is the first step into stopping lead poisoning”

– X. Terpstra, CEO of Lumetallix

Why Test for Lead?

Lead is a toxic metal that has been used for centuries and can still be found in everyday items like paint, ceramics, dishes, children’s toys, playgrounds, cosmetics, pipes, batteries, shooting ranges, water, and soil.

Dr. Lukas Helmbrecht, developer of Lumetallix Instant Lead Test.

Major Sources of Lead

Lead paint is a significant source of lead exposure, especially in homes built before the 1980s. Deteriorating paint or renovations can spread harmful lead dust and chips.

Lead paint can also be found on decorated dishes like plates and glasses. When deteriorating, lead can contaminate food.

Health Risks

Lead is harmful to everyone, but it poses a significant health risk to children. Lead poisoning can damage the brain and cause learning, hearing, speech, and behavior problems, significantly impacting a child’s life. In severe cases, lead poisoning can cause anemia, seizures, coma, or death.

Global Impact

Lead exposure affects 1 in 3 children worldwide. Nearly 1 million people die each year due to lead poisoning. The lead poisoning crisis concerns every country, from the poorest to the wealthiest. Lead poisoning knows no border.

Before Lumetallix was invented, there wasn't a way for people without an XRF gun to test consumer products for lead.
I became lead aware after Corelle admitted that its pre-2005 dishes had lead (except for the plain white dishes--those are safe). I was really concerned about exposing my kids (and myself) to lead. I had no way to know which of my dishes were safe. I put away mugs and dishes that I thought could have lead, but I wanted to know for sure. So, I'm so grateful for this product! I bought a Lumetallix kit and tested a ton of my stuff at home.

Using the test, I identified lead in:
a Starbucks mug and soooo many promo mugs
my Wedgwood Peter Rabbit porringer :(
the white logo on my Bodum glass beaker
the lid of a pill box from Ireland

To test for lead using Lumetallix, just spray (or drip) some of the test liquid on your item, then see if that creates a green glow using the included UV flashlight. The test can detect lead down to 500 ppm.

People can post photos on the Lumetallix website of what they've found glowing using the test. It is so surprising what people have found that contains lead--bathtubs, dumbbells, yoga mats, vintage Pyrex mixing bowls, tire swings, Tiffany lamps, beer glasses, door/cabinet knobs.

I highly recommend buying this test to see if your stuff contains lead. I tested so much of my stuff that I ran out of the test liquid, and I just ordered a refill 2 days ago. It is definitely worth the money to have the peace of mind, knowing whether your things are safe or leaded.
Shipping from the Netherlands (where the company is based) to Canada took 8 calendar days.

5/5 Cannot recommend highly enough
