This fast screening test kit contains 10 tests with everything needed for accurate results of unsafe lead levels in the field.

This is a revolutionary product designed to make Lead testing in water safe, easy, and affordable. This fast screening test kit contains 10 tests with everything needed for accurate results of unsafe lead levels. With reliable results in only 10 minutes, this test kit clearly gives results confirming Lead in water and conforming to the EPA guideline of 15 ppb (µg/L). The kit can test water quality from various sources including faucets, wells (ground water), and home purification systems.

Standards and Regulations for Lead [ACCLPP 2012]

EPA: Drinking Water: 15ppb
FDA: Juice: 50ppb
EPA: Residential Soil: 400 ppm (play areas), 1200 ppm (non-play areas)
CPSC: Paint: 90ppm
FDA: Bottled drinking water: 5ppb

High Blood lead levels (i.e., greater than 700ppb) can cause serious health effects, including seizure, coma, and death. Blood levels as low as 100ppb have been associated with adverse effects on cognitive development, growth, and behavior among children aged 1-5 years.

Sample method:

1. Take a first-draw sample

Immediately after opening a faucet or valve, collect a 250 mL sample. This sample should be from each tap used for consumption.

2. Take a flush sample

If first-draw sample results show elevated lead levels of 5 ppb or higher, collect a flush sample. To do this, ensure water has not been used for between 8 to 18 hours, then collect the sample at 30 seconds.

3. Take sequential samples

If you want to test a lead service line, collect 8 to 10 sequential samples, depending on how far the line is from the tap.

In 1991, EPA published a regulation to control lead and copper in drinking water. This regulation is known as the Lead and Copper Rule (also referred to as the LCR). Since 1991 the LCR has undergone various revisions, see the Rule History section below.

The treatment technique for the rule requires systems to monitor drinking water at customer taps. If lead concentrations exceed an action level of 15 ppb.

or copper concentrations exceed an action level of 1.3 ppm in more than 10% of customer taps sampled, the system must undertake a number of additional actions to control corrosion.

If the action level for lead is exceeded, the system must also inform the public about steps they should take to protect their health and may have to replace lead service lines under their control.
