Challenge Yourself for: 24 Hours

Lead poisoning is still an issue around the country, affecting homes, schools, and anywhere old paint, ceramics, vinyl lunchboxes, miniblinds, and toys exist. Before calling in the proper authorities --- EPA's lead abatement site is a good place to start -- you can perform a preliminary test on your environment with a simple swab from www.leadcheck.com or other vendor. Be sure to follow directions to the letter, as method can affect results. Today, challenge yourself to get a test kit or call a lead abatement professional to test out your environment.
