This lead blood test helps identify signs of significant lead exposure. Lead is a toxic metal found naturally in air, water, soil and in many consumer products. Individuals may have low levels of lead in their blood from these exposures. However, high levels of lead may indicate significant exposure in your home, workplace, or environment. Lead’s toxicity can result in damage to the brain, organs, and nervous system (ie lead poisoning).
No doctor’s visit needed.
Lead is a naturally occurring metal which can be toxic to humans and can cause damage to the brain, organs, and nervous system. Lead can be found in all parts of our environment and may also be combined with other materials to make a wide variety of products such as lead-based paint and leaded gasoline, both of which are now banned in the United States. Federal and state regulatory standards have helped to reduce the amount of lead in air, drinking water, soil, consumer products, food, and occupational settings. However, lead may still be present in the paint of older homes and workplaces or contaminated dust, as well as many imported products. Any amount of lead is unsafe, and both long-term and high levels of exposure can cause severe health problems.
This test measures the levels of lead in the bloodstream to monitor exposure to lead.
No special preparation is required.
