Lead Testing

Lead Testing Services in Toronto, Montreal, Ottawa & Edmonton & Surrounding Area

Lead is a natural occurring metal that was used as a building material in homes and buildings before the 1990's. Lead was used for many purposes until it was discovered that lead causes toxicity in humans. If lead containing materials (including lead paint) is disturbed, they become airborne and can be extremely dangerous for your health if inhaled. Once inhaled, the lead distributes throughout the body and bones and can lead to lead poisoning.
