Lead Drinking Water Test Kit
Lead from pipes can leach into household water used for drinking, cooking, and washing. Lead is so toxic that even very low levels may be dangerous. Lead consumption and poisoning has been linked to many serious illnesses, especially in young children. Lead can harm mental and physical development and may cause brain abnormalities, kidney damage and hypertension. As with other water contaminants, the risk of lead damage is much greater for children than for adults. Because lead can accumulate in the body, consumers should test for lead levels at each faucet in the home, especially if the plumbing fixtures could be from the 1980's or older. Find out if your water has harmful levels of lead! This WaterSafe Lead Drinking Water test kit lets you perform one test.
