Lead Test Kit
Lead testing kit, home lead test kit for lead toxicity, lead poisoning and contamination in water and the human body.
Test saliva and urine for lead levels if you are concerned about lead pollution exposure.
Toxic effects of lead heavy metal contamination can be poisonous, ingestion of lead is dangerous and can lead to illness and in some case be fatal.
Lead toxicity heavy metal poisoning symptoms.
You could be suffering from lead poisoning symptoms, simple home testing kits for lead in water or body fluids.
The symptoms of lead poisoning include:
- neurological problems, such as reduced IQ
- nausea
- abdominal pain
- irritability
- insomnia
- metal taste in oral cavity
- excess lethargy or hyperactivity
- headache and
- in extreme cases, seizure and coma.
- There are also associated gastrointestinal problems, such as constipation, diarrhoea, vomiting, poor appetite, weight loss, which are common in acute poisoning.
Other related dangers of lead poisoning - chronic lead poisoning symptoms
- lead poisoning anaemia
- lead poisoning autism
- lead poisoning birth defects
- lead poisoning brain damage
- lead poisoning learning disabilities
- lead poisoning seizures
- lead poisoning nervous system problems
Lead poisoning diagnosis
Other associated effects are anaemia, kidney problems, and reproductive problems. In humans, lead toxicity sometimes causes the formation of a bluish line along the gums, which is known as the "Burton's line", although this is very uncommon in young children.
Blood film examination may reveal "basophilic stippling" of red blood cells, as well as the changes normally associated with iron deficiency anaemia (Microsystems and hypochromia). A direct link between early lead exposure and extreme learning disability has been confirmed by multiple researchers and child advocacy groups.
Lead exposure methods
- lead poisoning diet and nutrition exposure
- lead poisoning drinking water contamination
- lead based paint poisoning
- lead dust poisoning

Lead testing kit contents
- 1 Colour strip on box of the kit
- 1 Large Test-tube
- 1 Vial with red cap - reagent 1
- 1 Vial with clear cap - reagent 2
- 1 Vial with yellow cap - reagent 3
1 vial with clear cap - Reagent 1 (contains 10% sulphuric acid and care must be taken as it is corrosive - please avoid contact with skin or eyes)
How To Check Lead Levels - Preparation
Lead testing kit preparation
- Remove the 3 vials from the test tube
- In the empty test-tube, add 10 ml. of the solution to be tested for lead
- The solution is now ready for testing for Lead
How To Test For Lead Poisoning - Use
Lead testing kit use, complete instructions provided with Lead testing kit
Conducting the test For Lead heavy metals
- Add the content of the vial with the red cap (reagent 1) into the large test tube containing the solution to be tested
- Close the large test tube with the cap and turn it up and down without shaking it. This is to allow the solutions to mix
- Add all the contents of the vial with the yellow cap (reagent 3) into the vial with the clear cap (reagent 2). Close the cap of the vial with the clear cap and mix both reagents together
- Add the mixed reagents in the vial with the clear cap to the mixed solutions in the large test tube
- Wait for 5 minutes and compare the colour of the solution you have tested for lead to the colour strip to determine the concentration of lead ions
Lead Poisoning Test - Results
Lead testing kit results, result is measured accurately in parts per million. Tests the presence of ions of lead to a high degree of accuracy and detect contamination, use for drinking water, urine, saliva and any body of water.
