Due to the wide availability, low-cost, and ability to produce an instant result, commercial lead test kits have been known for their convenience. However, considering that small lead exposures can pose serious health concerns to those who are vulnerable, inaccurate results may cause a potential health hazard. This study investigated the accuracy of a commercial lead test kit called “10-in-1 Drinking Water Test Kit” by Baldwin Meadows and compare its findings to instrumental analysis.</p> <p> </p>}, journal={BCIT Environmental Public Health Journal}, author={Park, Nick and BCIT School of Health Sciences, Environmental Health and Dale, Chen and Tirado, Maria and Kuo, Hsin}, year={2021}, month={Jan.} }
