Lead-Based Paint Inspection being Performed using XRF Analysis
Various federal and state agencies such as the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), and the Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS) have developed their own sets of requirements and recommendations. All these agencies agree that the lead hazards expand far beyond paint. Other common sources for lead are dust, soil, solder, water pipes, and water treatment systems.

Lead exposure has increasingly become a major concern in both the public and private sector.
Lead is a strong poison. Even small amounts can cause permanent damage to young children. Lead can cause learning disabilities, behavioral problems, sterility and miscarriages, premature births, low birth weight, and stomach disorders.
