It is important to identify the presence of lead before undertaking renovations, as it can be found in old paints layers. When the paint is disturbed during work, lead can break into chips and generate dust that easily spreads in the air and on surfaces.
This contamination poses a significant risk to occupants, workers, and their families (workers can take lead home with their contaminated clothing). Testing for lead is essential to reduce contamination risks and protect the health of the people potentially exposed during renovations.

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 mugsmy Wedgwood Peter Rabbit porringer :(the white logo on my Bodum glass beakerthe lid of a pill box from IrelandTo 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 enoughread more
