Lead Based Paint Test Kits

Lead oxide has been used as a white color base in paints for hundreds of years. One could assume that before 1940 all paints contained lead in them. House paints, artistic paints and every paint in between contained titanium dioxide as it was cheap to produce and gave paints a wet look that held up far longer than normal paints.

If you live in a home built prior to 1978 I would just assume that you have lead paint somewhere in your home. More than likely it’s been painted over many times but it’s still there.  Check4Lead.com sells Lead Based Paint Test Kits that will help you find lead in your home. There is no safe level of lead in a Childs blood.
