Watersafe Lead Test Kit is a one-step test kit that can detect dissolved lead at levels below the EPA Action level of 15 parts per billion (ppb).

Lead from pipes can leach into household water used for drinking, cooking and washing. Many homes and buildings have pipes and plumbing fixtures that contain lead. Lead can leach from pipes into household water, making this plumbing a major source of water contamination and a potential source of toxic lead poisoning. Lead is so toxic that even very low levels may be dangerous.
