PROTOTYPE — built on DetectLead, designed for transfer to The LEAD Group · Based on Liz O'Brien's 2015 LTRW design spec · eric@detectlead.com
Australia's lead test results, in one place

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.

Did you test something for lead? Add it to the registry. Your contribution joins thousands of others, helping researchers, parents, and clinicians see the real picture of lead exposure.

The 5-stage rollout

Liz designed LTRW with five rollout stages. We're at Stage 2 with the existing data, opening Stage 3 with this prototype.

Australian Kit purchasers + SAL

Sydney Analytical Lab uploads results from LEAD Group Kits sent in by Australian buyers.

Any Aussie individual + any Aussie lab

Anyone in Australia can upload their lead results, doctors can upload bloods.

Public submission + paid recommendations

Anyone uploads, gets free interpretation. Pays for tailored abatement advice from LEAD Group experts.

Worldwide

Open to the world. Any lab, any researcher, any country. Mapped, sorted, searchable.

All biological

Bone, urine, hair, nails — every biomarker for lead exposure across a lifetime.
