Why do I need a Lead Technician?

Lead dust testing is crucial for several reasons, especially in older homes or buildings where lead-based paints may have been used. Here are five key reasons to consider lead dust testing:

1. Protect Children’s Health: Lead poisoning is particularly harmful to children, affecting their development, behavior, and intelligence. Children can ingest lead dust from their hands or toys that have come in contact with contaminated dust.
   
   
2. Pregnancy and Fetal Development: Lead exposure during pregnancy can harm the developing fetus, leading to low birth weight, premature birth, and developmental issues.
   
   
3. Avoid Cognitive Decline in Adults: Lead exposure in adults can cause cognitive decline, memory loss, and other neurological issues.
   
   
4. Meet Regulatory Requirements: In some cases, lead dust testing may be required by law or regulation, especially when buying, selling, or renting older properties.
   
   
5. Peace of Mind: Knowing that your home is free from lead dust can provide peace of mind, especially if you plan to start a family or have young children in the home.
   
   
   Landlords will need proof of a lead safe or lead free certification from certified inspector in order to maintain their rental licenses. Owners are responsible to comply with these laws. For more information for the Philadelphia region click here
