Lead
Lead concentration tests are performed if lead poisoning is suspected.
Lead is a heavy metal that is not necessary for regular body function. It enters the human body through the respiratory tract and sometimes is ingested with water and food.
Lead is widely used in many industrial areas:
- in the production of lead-acid batteries of motor vehicles, ammunition, glass, ceramic glaze, jewellery, toys;
- as an additive of dyes and paints (pigments), alloys, solders (filler metals), and in cosmetics.
The main sources of lead contaminants in our environment are: landfills, old constructions, building sites, finishing materials, white oil paint, metalworking tools, car services, printing houses, plastics industry, including toys, food cans, and road transport.
Lead tests are done on a blood or urine sample.
You do not have to schedule an appointment in advance, you can simply check in at reception and request to be tested.
