The Cost of Lead: Economic and Health Impacts

It’s not just damaging for individuals. It also comes at a large economic cost for society at large. Impacts on brain development, cognitive function, and productivity affect a country’s output and earning potential.

Researchers estimate that in some countries, the costs of Lead exposure are equivalent to as much as 6% of GDP. The cost of the problem is large because the numbers affected are too: figures compiled by UNICEF, Pure Earth, the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation, and the World Health Organization estimates that Lead poisoning affects around every third child in the world.

Thanks for putting this product out! One of my favorite mugs tested positive :( Sad. Also scary. I'm in the process of testing all my dishes, because man, I've been drinking out of a lead lined cup this entire time??? Geez.

So thankful I purchased this kit. I found a suspect pile of paint chips in my new apartment that was built in 1898 and this test was able to confirm it was lead paint and that I need to move out asap!

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

An absolute MUST-HAVE for any family! Thanks to Lumetallix I started completely clearing my household of tons of lead products...I had no idea the amount of exposure to my children, pets and family!

I ordered the Lumetallix Test Kit, and it exceeded my expectations. The ease of use and accurate results make it an excellent value. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to safeguard their health from lead contamination.
