Lead Test Results
Every lead test, contributed.
Every result, interpreted.
A public registry of lead in paint, dust, soil, water, dishes, food, products, and blood — built so anyone can see what's been tested, what's been found, and what to do about it. Designed by Elizabeth O'Brien in 2015. Now operational.
Why test for lead
No level of lead in blood is safe. The U.S. CDC dropped its "level of concern" three times since 1991 — from 25 µg/dL → 10 → 5 → 3.5. Every drop was a tacit admission that previous "acceptable" exposure was harming children. Most lead exposure pathways are invisible. The registry exists to make them visible.
Blood lead
The single most important test. Order one through your GP. Upload the result for free interpretation and graphing over time.
Paint & dust
Pre-1978 paint is a lead reservoir. Dust wipes catch what swabs miss. Test before renovations.
Soil & water
Garden beds near painted homes. Rainwater tanks fed by lead-flashed roofs. Bore water in mineralised areas.
Dishes & cookware
Painted ceramics, glazed pottery, brass tagines, leaded crystal. The registry has 5,800+ dish XRF results.
Food & spices
Contaminated turmeric, cinnamon, sea salts. Heavy metals in baby food. 1,343 foods analysed.
Products & toys
Imported toys, costume jewellery, vinyl mini-blinds, fishing weights, ammunition residue.
