Introduction (for those new to this website):

Tamara Rubin is a federal-award-winning independent advocate for consumer goods safety and a documentary filmmaker. She is also a mother of Lead-poisoned children, her sons were acutely Lead-poisoned in 2005. Since 2009 Tamara has been using XRF testing (a scientific method used by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission) to test consumer goods for toxicants (specifically heavy metals), including Lead, Cadmium, Mercury, Antimony, and Arsenic. All test results reported on this website are science-based, accurate, and replicable. Items are tested multiple times, to confirm the test results for each component. Tamara’s work was featured in Consumer Reports Magazine in February of 2023.

NOW BOOKING FOR INTERNATIONAL LEAD POISONING PREVENTION MONTH:
OCTOBER 2023!
Lead Safe Mama is coming to CANADA!

Each year in October, we try to cluster events and home consultations to make things more affordable for families interested in hiring me. We now have THREE appointments in Eastern Canada this coming October. This means I will also be near Buffalo, New York, and Detroit, Michigan! Please let me know if you are in any of those areas (within a two or three-hour drive) and interested in hiring us that week or collaborating with us to coordinate a Lead Safe Mama outreach event in your community. The rest of the month is still open for the entire country (and Eastern Canada, too!). Text me if interested — include your name and location in your text (along with a quick note about how long you have been following this work!) and I will respond by sending you links with more details! Thank you. My cell: 415-609-3182.

Hello all! The next Lead Safe Mama USA travel month is October 2023. If you’re interested in getting on my travel schedule (& working with me in person — including having me come to your home or place of business to test your things for Lead, Cadmium, Mercury, Arsenic, Antimony, etc.), NOW is the time to pay your deposit to reserve a date. My travel route (for home consultations & free, open to the public outreach events*) is determined by who books first (& where those people are)!

Outside of pre-set Lead Safe Mama travel months (which are normally Jan., April, and Oct. each year), I am available anytime for one-on-one consultations anywhere in the world — however, emergency travel rates apply in addition to the consultation fee. (Emergency travel rates look like $1,500 per travel day within the U.S. [including all travel costs] or $1,500 per travel day PLUS actual travel costs outside of the U.S.)
–
*Costs of outreach events are covered by event sponsors & hosts (hosts & sponsors often include health departments, hospitals, doctor’s offices, universities, schools, etc.). Outreach events are normally held with public participation being free/open to the public free of charge, and in most cases, we offer free consumer goods testing (using XRF technology) for all who attend.

    Dear Tamara How exciting to hear you are all in Austria the original home of the Maria Von Trapp singers upon which the Sound of Music movie is loosely based. Nice to hear you will be in Columbus, Ohio, Monday, October2 this year, within driving distance for me in the Dayton area. I would appreciate details as they become available. Sincerely Sandy.

      Thank you! I will post about the free public part of the event on October 2nd as soon as I know more. It will likely be a two-hour event at the City of Columbus Public Health Department Offices!
