Lead Testing and Removal in Greater Spokane, Coeur D’Alene

Before we knew lead was hazardous to our health, we used it in older homes, buildings, fuel sources, children’s toys and more. Today we know that overexposure to this metal can be harmful to you and your family and that deteriorating lead-based paint and its resulting dust should be handled with care.

You cannot see, taste or smell lead, making it easily ingested, especially by young children. In fact, an estimated half a million U.S. children between the ages of one and five have high levels of lead in their bloodstream.

Young children unknowingly ingest lead by swallowing old paint chips or breathing in dust from lead-based paint in older homes. An overexposure to lead can cause lead poisoning over time and lead to a host of physical and mental symptoms (such as kidney damage, high blood pressure, and anemia), and even death.
