Lead Testing Kit For Soil

Rain - particularly acid rain - can leach lead out of exterior house paint and into the surrounding soil. This is true even if the exterior has been over-painted with several coats of non-lead-based paint. Additionally, if your home is located near a highway or heavily travelled street, lead from auto exhuast can settle in the surrounding soil.

Children and pets who play in (and perhaps even occasionally consume) outdoor soil are particularly at risk of being poisoned by lead. The HomeFree Lead Testing Kit for Soil accurately checks consumer soil samples for lead contamination, with results in 48 hours.
