The only PREMIUM [colour-change] Lead Test Kit on the market that will test surfaces for lead, as well as water, and tell you the approximate lead release in the sample. There are 3 methods for using the kit: Rapid test method; Patented leach method and Rapid test for lead in water; and you can use the kit to test for lead in fine china, glass, crystal, plastic and metal toys, water, pottery, children's lunch boxes, soil, bathtub glazes, Mexican candy, cosmetic make-up, dust, pet food bowls and pet toys, and candle wicks. [URL: www.leadinspector.com/order.html ] For instance, when using the rapid test method on surfaces like paint, mini-blinds, electrical assemblies/electronic circuit boards, furniture, antiques, ceramics, plumbing, and children's toys, feeding spoons, PVC bags, jewellery, and other surfaces, if the clear solution turns a faint yellowish tint, it indicates 1-3 parts per million (ppm) lead released from the sample, and the darker the colour change, the more lead is indicated, up to black, which indicates more than 50 ppm lead released.
