Lead Wipe Sampling, Analysis, & Mitigation
At ClearVu Environmental Solutions, we specialize in comprehensive laboratory analysis catering to various environmental concerns, including lead contamination. Our services encompass the examination of paint chips, dust wipes, soils, and drinking waters. These analyses serve as vital supplements to XRF surveys, offering alternative avenues for verification and validation.
Unsurprisingly paint chips serve as effective substitutes for XRF readings, ensuring accuracy and reliability in lead detection. Meanwhile, wipe samples play a crucial role in assessing lead-contaminated dust pre and post-renovation activities. Additionally, our analysis of soils and water sources unveils further insights into potential lead exposures. Employing innovative ICP technology and adhering to EPA-specified methods, we ensure the delivery of unparalleled data quality and professionalism.
Our commitment to efficiency is evident in our swift turnaround times, with results available in as little as 24 hours. Whether it is on-site sampling or in-house lab analysis, we provide seamless on-site solutions tailored to meet your needs.
The pervasiveness of lead in our surroundings has emerged as a pressing health issue over the past decade increasing in intensity as testing improves. Extensive studies have linked lead exposure to various ailments, ranging from reproductive difficulties to cognitive impairments, which become particularly apparent in children. Regrettably, lead lurks ubiquitously in every level of our everyday lives, infiltrating our homes, leisure, schooling, and workplaces alike.
Historically, lead found its way into everyday products such as gasoline, pipe solder, paint, enamels, and pottery glazes. Notably, it was a prevalent component in residential and industrial paints throughout most of the 20th century, affecting over 70% of housing constructed before 1978. In industrial settings, lead-laden surface coatings were commonplace, encapsulating everything from water tanks to flooring and railings. The pervasive nature of lead underscores the urgency for pro-active detection and remediation measures, a mission we at ClearVu Environmental Solutions is dedicated to advancing in innovative technique, personal care, and professionalism.
