Lead is a toxic metal that can cause serious health problems, especially in children. Lead-based paint was commonly used in homes built before 1978, and it can still be found in many older homes today. If you’re concerned that your home may have lead-based paint, it’s important to test it to find out for sure.
There are a few different ways to test for lead in paint. One way is to use a lead test kit. These kits are available at most hardware stores and home improvement centers. To use a lead test kit, simply swab a small area of paint and then follow the instructions on the kit to determine if the paint contains lead.
