The articles published today are placeholders JUST with the XRF data for the item pictured. They will be updated with more details a.s.a.p.

- Check out our menu with buttons to lots of different information categories here on the site.
- This is a link to my documentary feature film on childhood Lead poisoning.
- Here’s a short video showing you how to search this site.
- This is what you can test at home with a LeadCheck swab.
- And these are some items you really cannot test at home (but are better tested with XRF technology).
As always, please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you for reading and thank you for sharing this work!
